SEGA GENESIS GAMES REVIEW

In 1989 Sega released a console called the "Genesis" in North America, following it's counterpart in Japan the "Master System" .

That was my introduction to video game consoles, being Mario Bros 3, my first video game experience. Y ears passed and while my friends at school would play Pokemon Red or Blue on their game bo
