More than 900 games are supported by the Sega Genesis (pictured), a 16-bit video game console that was developed and sold by Sega Enterprises, Ltd. The successor to the Master System, the Genesis can also play the complete library of Master System games when the separately sold Power Base Converter is installed. The initial pack-in title was Altered Beast, which was later replaced with Sonic the Hedgehog. Top sellers included Sonic the Hedgehog, its sequel Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Disney's Aladdin. During development for the console, Sega of Japan focused on developing action games while Sega of America was tasked with developing sports games. A large part of the appeal of the Genesis library during the console's lifetime was the arcade-based experience of its games. Compared to its competition, Sega advertised to an older audience by hosting more mature games, including the uncensored version of Mortal Kombat. (Full list...)
