i dont care abt sonic
the best game i play on my sega was michael jackson.
was lucky because my dad works with MNC and he can afford a lot of these consoles. so i have my own room and my own console + tv in my bed room. everyday play from morning til night, night til morning that i get all C in my UPSR.

after that my bedroom become a room with only 1 bed 1 cupboard and 1 study table. dad gave the sega to his staff cry.gif

Sega Genesis aka Megadrive's biggest flaw is a 3 button gamepad. WTF?

Sega just brought their own demise in the console business when they tried to prolong the genesis lifespan by its addon (32x, Sega CD) when they would be releasing Sega Saturn 6 months later

the price, the hassle (each addon required its own power supply) and the lack of games developed for that system after that took a toll on their finance and eventually ended their fight in the console wars after not so good sales of their final console, the Dreamcast.
