Sega CD

The Genesis is a video game add-on for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, manufactured by Sega.

History
The Sega CD (or Sega Mega-CD in Europe and Japan) was released on December 1, 1991 in Japan (as the Sega Mega-CD), October 15, 1992 in North America (as the Sega CD), and November 30, 1990 in PAL regions (as the Sega Mega-CD), as an add-on to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. The Sega CD competed with the NEC's TurboGrafx-CD/PC Engine Super CD-ROM and Nintendo's Satellaview. The Sega CD failed due to the price, the low amount of games, and that it couldn't function without the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

The Sega CD was discontinued in 1996 and was succeeded by the Sega 32X in 1994, another Sega Genesis add-on that failed.
