Mega Drive

The console turns 30 years old this week. Although we didn’t get it until September 1990, the Sega Genesis (known as the Sega Mega Drive over here) was first released in North America in August 1989, making it the must-have Christmas gift for that year. There is a chance that now, three decades later, it could […]

Retro gamers rejoice: Sega Mega Drive Classics Collection is heading to PS4 and Xbox One
