Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine

The Sega Genesis, introduced by Sega in 1988, played a pivotal role in the 16-bit console era and stands as an iconic platform in gaming history. Renowned for its blast processing technology and distinctive "Genesis does what Nintendon't" marketing campaign, the console brought forth classics such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, and Phantasy Star. The Sega Genesis not only provided a formidable competitor to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System but also popularized the concept of sports games with titles like Madden NFL and NBA Jam. The console's introduction of the six-button controller expanded gameplay possibilities, particularly for fighting games. With its impactful library, the Sega Genesis became a cornerstone of the 1990s gaming landscape, leaving an indelible mark on the memories of gamers who grew up during that era.
