About this ebook
“An exhaustive, tremendous look back at one of the most beloved consoles of all time . . . an absolutely barnstorming recollection of a wonderful era.” —Finger Guns
The third book in Chris Scullion’s series of video game encyclopedias, The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Encyclopedia is dedicated to Sega’s legendary 16-bit video game console. The book contains detailed information on every single game released for the Sega Mega Drive and Genesis in the west, as well as similarly thorough bonus sections covering every game released for its add-ons, the Mega CD and 32X. With nearly a thousand screenshots, generous helpings of bonus trivia and charmingly bad jokes, The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Encyclopedia is the definitive guide to a legendary gaming system.
“The Sega Mega Drive and Genesis Encyclopedia is a must-buy for fans of the console and a perfect addition to any retro game fan’s library.” —Goomba Stomp Magazine
