Now, Sega has been producing games for the iPhone. They just went third-party, making games for other platforms. Yet like all things, Sega never really went away. Children would do everything they could to persuade their friends to join their side and buy their beloved console of choice.Īs for me, I was a Sega kid. When Sega dropped out of the console race, we were like exiles from a lost cause. Lockers were plastered with posters of mascots, playgrounds were filled with endless comparisons of “bits”, “blast processing”, “Super FX” and what console had the nicer looking games.
Kids these days don’t know what console wars were like in the early ’90s, just when Nintendo got its first real competition. Best of all, it’s a fine way to relive the console that changed playground debates forever. It’s reputedly an iPhone app that allows users to download games that cost between $3 and $6. According to Gizmodo, Sega’s taking another crack at officially endorsed Genesis emulation, this time with Ultimate Genesis.
