SEGA Genesis Emulator for Mac OS X

Sega Genesis (also known as Sega Megadrive in some areas outside North America) was released In the year, 1989, and was in competition with Nintendo who is monopolizing the home video game industry at that time. Also, during this year, the Sega Corp is known for the hit games that they have in arcades such as the Golden Axe and After Burner. Because of this, the Sega Genesis has a promise that they will not just bring these games in game console but also make it arcade-like in appearance.

However, it only found its popularity only in the year 1991 when they released Sonic the Hedgehog. It did not just served as the company’s mascot but also a game, favored by almost all users, because of its graphics, sound, and animation that comes in great speed.
