Sega Genesis Emulators & Games - Frooxius - 09-17-2012
Are there any Sega Genesis (Megadrive in some regions) fans?
It's a game console released in 1988, powered by 16-bit Motorola 68000 and 8-bit Zilog 80 processors (Z80 working as a coprocessor and providing backwards compatibility with Sega Master System, often used for driving soundchip in Genesis games).
"Brief official technical specifications taken from Wiki Wrote:-Motorola 68000 16/32-bit processor @ 7.67 MHz (MC68HC000, CMOS version)
-Zilog Z80 8-bit @ 3.58 MHz
-Yamaha YM7101, derivative of the VDP from the Sega Master System
-64K work RAM (68000), 64K video RAM, 8K work RAM (Z80)
Later hardware had an internal 1Kx16 ROM for the license display screen.
-Yamaha YM2612 5 channel FM and 1 channel FM/PCM, Texas Instruments SN76489 4 channel PSG (Programmable Sound Generator)
I find it amazing what some developers got from this simple hardware and I enjoy the games even today.
I personally use mainly these emulators:
Gens+ (Windows)
Kega Fusion (Windows, Mac OS X)
GenPlusDroid (Android)
And these are my favorite games:
Sonic The Hedgehog 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles
Mega Turrican
Earthworm Jim and Earthworm Jim 2
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Super Street Fighter II
Ethernal Champions
... and some more ;-)
Do you play any Sega Genesis games? What are your favorites? What emulators do you use? Or do you have the real thing?

Ah, nostalgia! I got the Megadrive for my third birthday, its what started my gaming career.
My favorite game of all time is still Sonic the Hedgehog. Streets of Rage was brilliant too.
I still play on the console, got a new one recently.
