	Sega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sega's European division, Sega of Europe, is headquartered in the Chiswick area of London, England, United Kingdom.
		In 1993, the Genesis was redesigned and released as the "Sega Genesis 2".
		Sega was attempting to "lock out" game companies from making Genesis games unless they paid Sega a fee (ostensibly to maintain a consistent level of quality of games for their system.) Their strategy was to make the hardware reject any cartridge that did not include a Sega trademark.

		Sega announced their North American release date for the system in 1987, making a point of the fact that was the first true 16-bit console.
		The failures of the Sega CD and 32X, a lack of effective advertising and disputes between Sega of America and Sega of Japan had taken their toll on the company.
		By 1994 Sega's market share had dropped from 65% to 35% and the offical announcements of newer, more powerful consoles, such as the Saturn, Playstation and N64 signaled that the 16-bit era was drawing to a close.

	RETROARCADE.COM - Sega Genesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		During its lifetime, the Sega Genesis was the platform for a multitude of games, many of them now classics that set the standard for modern 32 bit titles.
		Alas, Sega did not continue their tradition of backward compatibility, and did not produce an adapter for the Saturn that would allow Genesis cartridges and SegaCDs to be played on the new system.
		Software that emulates the Sega Genesis is in a bit of a greyish area however, because Genesis games still retain copyrights and it is illegal to distribute the rom images (a data file copied from the cartridge).

	Dark Watcher's Console History
		Sega made a good attempt at the market with their Master System against Nintendo's virtual monopoly of the console industry, but they were about to introduce next generation gaming to the masses.
		Sega had a lot of hits in the arcade such as After Burner and Golden Axe, and part of the appeal of the Megadrive was that now these games were not only playable at home but were fairly close to the arcade versions.
		The Sega Genesis reached a great level of success in Amaerica, but launched the system to all new heights of popularity when they released a secret project in the summer of 1992.

	A Brief History of Home Video Games

		Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega's new mascot, was born.
		During the 16-bit era, Sega executives decided that the best way to compete with a company that used key-chips in their hardware was to include key-chips of their own in the Genesis.

		Sega introduced the Sega CD late in the year, and despite all the hype that had been built up over the last two years, the Sega CD sold very poorly, partially due to its $200+ initial asking price.
		Sega never recovered from the 32X fiasco, and many believe that the sales of the Saturn were also hurt by it.

	G4 - Feature - Overclock the Sega Genesis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The Sega Genesis, or the MegaDrive as it is called outside the United States, has always been my favorite video game system.
		Now that I'd seen it on a PC, it was easy to see that video game consoles did the same thing, but in a different fashion; they repeated the same frames over and over when the action got intense and the CPU was overloaded.
		I'd been overclocking old Macs that use 680x0 series CPUs when I noticed that the Sega Genesis CPU was a 680x0 series chip as well, the MC68000.

		Because the Genesis was the more powerful system, it was the obvious choice for gamers (that is, until Nintendo released its own sixteen-bit console.) Though the system fast became dated, it spawned its share of gaming classics.
		-This newer version of the Genesis is much smaller and sleeker than the older version, which took up a lot of space.
		There are Genesis exclusives like the classic Sonic series, and a number of excellent series of games that appeared on multiple platforms, like Mortal Kombat (and the Genesis versions of Mortal Kombat I and II are vastly superior to their Super Nintendo counterparts!)
