jul 12, 1988 - Sega Mega Drive (Genesis)

Description:

The Sega Mega Drive was Sega's second console after the Master System. The Mega Drive was a 16-bit console, which was an improvement from the Master System and it's 8-bit capabilities. The Mega Drive had limited colours, but was able to mic those colours to create interesting sprites and background. Games that show an improvement from the Master System include Sonic the Hedgehog 2 where the sprites and details have shown a clear improvement. The backgrounds are much more detailed and the sprites movement seem a little more realistic.
