Sega’s Mega Drive catalogue includes Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage. Their contrasting speed and street fighting make the system our favourite Sega console here. Genesis is the North American name; the photograph shows that regional version, not a different generation of hardware.
It beats NES for our preference for energetic arcade-style action. PlayStation wins the next comparison for its varied 3D worlds. Count the base console’s games here, not the separate Mega-CD or 32X add-on libraries. Action fans can reasonably rank it higher.
