The '''Sega Mega Drive''' (メガドライブ, ''Mega Doraibu'') is a 16-bit video game console released by [[Sega]] in Japan in [[1988]], and North America in [[1989]]. Europe and most of the rest of the world saw the release of the console in 1990. It debuted under the name '''Sega Genesis''' in North America, as Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in that region. It was the direct competitor of the Super Famicom ([[Super Nintendo]]), although the Sega Mega Drive was released two years earlier. An additional version of the Sega Mega Drive was created by [[Majesco]] to re-release the console (noted by its similarities to the [[SNES]]), however it was superseded by a third version that was released in 1998, after Sega had discontinued support of the original console. | The '''Sega Mega Drive''' (メガドライブ, ''Mega Doraibu'') is a 16-bit video game console released by [[Sega]] in Japan in [[1988]], and North America in [[1989]].
