Sega Mega Drive Games Online

The Sega Mega Drive, sold as the Genesis in North America, was released in Japan in 1988 and in the United States in 1989. It was a 16-bit console with a fast processor and a distinctive sound chip, and Sega built its image around speed and attitude, taking on Nintendo directly in one of the most famous console rivalries. The library is full of fast platformers, shoot-'em-ups, beat-'em-ups, sports games and arcade conversions, and many titles were made with two players in mind. Its music has a recognisable twangy, punchy quality that fans still love. Games from this era are often challenging, with lives and continues rather than save points, so patience and practice help. If you remember the early-1990s console war, or you simply want to know why the system still has such devoted fans, this is the place to start. On GamesClips you can play without a console or cartridge.
