The '''Sega Genesis''' is a home video game console released on October 29, 1988 by [[SEGA|Sega]] as the Mega Drive (メガドライブ Mega Doraibu), the name it is known as outside North America. The reason for the two names is that Sega was unable to secure legal rights to the Mega Drive name in North America. As a fourth-generation console, the Sega Genesis is Sega's third console and the successor to the [[Sega Master System]] with which it has backward compatibility when the separately sold Power Base Converter is installed.
The Sega Genesis was the first of its generation to achieve notable market share in continental Europe and North Americawith an initial MSRP of {{Inflation|USD|299.99|1993}}, where it competed against a wide range of platforms, including both dedicated gaming consoles and home computer systems. Two years later, [[Nintendo]] released the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], and the competition between the two would dominate the 16-bit era of video gaming. The console began production in Japan in 1988 and ended with the last new licensed game being released in 2002 in Brazil.

Hello==Power supply=====Model 1 US===There are a few different types of power supplies for the model 1. The important distinction is the output voltage: some provide 9V, others 10V. Beyond that, they differ by input wattage, which does not matter to the functionality of the console and only affets power consumption. Check the voltage rating printed on the bottom of the model 1 for the correct voltage before using a power supply you find in the wild.

==Add-ons=Power Base Converter===*[[Sega 32X]]*[[Sega CD|Sega CD/Mega-CD]]
*The '''Power Base Converter''' adds compatibility with both cartridge and card-based games on the Sega Master System in an add-on that also adds compatibility with the 3-D Glasses through a port in the front. Master System or Genesis controllers may be used for gameplay, as they share the same type of input jack. Both North American and Japanese versions are designed to only fit the Model 1, while an additional  version fitting the Model 2 Mega Drive was released in Europe.
