    Default Question

    Sorry if this is a stupid question.

    What is the difference between a Megadrive and a Genesis?

    yeah it was called Megadrive in Europe and Japan. They were gonna call it megadrive in the US, but the name was already taken. I wonder what took it ?

    I've got several PAL Megadrive games:
    Super Fantasy Zone
    Turbo Outrun
    Wonderboy III: Monster Lair
    Super Hang-On

    They all work fine on my US Genesis.
