Sega Genesis not became very popular in Japan because of its main competitors (PC Engine and Super Famicom), however it was quite successful in the US and Europe. As carriers for the games were used cartridges that could be inserted on the top of the console.

The name in the United States had to be replaced just because it was not possible to register a trademark – Mega Drive. The first release was held in Japan, the name of the console was Mega Drive, a year later it came to the United States under the name Genesis, and a year later released in other countries, again with the name Mega Drive. $70 seems a bit steep for some of the most re-packaged games out there.Sega Genesis, also known as Sega Mega Drive or just SMD is a 16-bit video game console developed and released by Sega and is referred to the fourth generation. If you just want to get a large collection of genesis games at least wait till you find it on sale.

So if you see only a few games you want there, go with the individual collections. Also they've released a new collection (volume 5) which isn't in the gold collection (according to their site). So yeah $70 is a bit much for such a bundle considering they've been pushing out bundles with the same content for over 10 years now. No clue how SC-Wholesale is, but that's a 3rd party seller on amazon uk selling the gold collection for £4 ( around $7). When I got around to getting an XBox for large screen gaming, it wasn't really available anywhere around and considering I'd already got the mega drive collection 1-4 on Steam (which seems to be the exact content of the gold collection) I didn't really bother with tracking it down. Also I'm rather certain it's just a collection of the Sega Classic collections 1-5 with maybe a few extras? And the content of that has been released so often it's likely not that big a deal to get unless you haven't got any of them.īack before I got an Xbox 360 this was released qid=1359798116&sr=8-1
