The SEGA Genesis defined 16-bit gaming. Launched in 1988 as the Mega Drive in Japan (and a year later as the Genesis in North America), SEGA's console was built around a Motorola 68000 processor — running at a blazing 7.6 MHz. With its ability to display 64 colors on-screen simultaneously and a crisp 320x224 resolution, the Genesis delivered arcade-quality visuals that left 8-bit consoles in the dust. But it was the Yamaha YM2612 sound chip that really set the Genesis apart, producing that distinctive FM synthesis sound, unmistakably SEGA.
