35 years ago on October 29, 1988, Sega released the Sega Genesis (or Mega Drive in Japan), in Japan.
The Mega Drive faced tough competition in Japan from Nintendo's Super Famicom and NEC's PC Engine, but it found significant success in North America, Brazil, and Europe. Its triumph was attributed to a strong lineup of arcade game conversions, the popularity of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series and well-received sports titles
