SEGA ARCADE LEGENDS
The Legend
Known as the Genesis in North America, the Mega Drive was launched in
1989 as a follow-up to the Sega Master System. With over 600 titles by
the end of its life cycle, Sega ruled the 16-bit generation by finally bring-
ing the arcade experience home. The last Mega Drive system was built
in 1997, but the games live on as true Arcade Legends.
Set Up
The Sega Arcade Legends contains 6 of the most popular games built-in,
with no extra equipment needed.

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG
The Legend
In the battle for the 16-bit generation, Sega needed a character that
could take on a certain Italian plumber that had reigned supreme during
the previous generation. They found their mascot in a little blue speed
machine named Sonic the Hedgehog. Release in 1991, Sonic the
Hedgehog was the best selling game of the year and was the defining
game on the Sega Mega Drive.
Dr. Robotnik (Known as Dr. Eggman in Japan, hence his rotund appear-
ance), has been transforming all the cute, fuzzy animals into robots and it
is up to Sonic the Hedgehog to fr
ee them. Running stage to stage, he
must free the animals and stop Dr. Robotnik’s mad schemes.

player to lose a life.

continue your game at the lamppost instead of at the start of the level.
AL
TERED BEAST
The Legend
Released in 1988 in the arcades, Altered Beast became the launch title

arcade to home translation to date and proved that the Mega Drive was a
step above.

The Legend

Mega Drive and yet another example of it being able to bring the arcades
home. In addition, the Mega Drive version went beyond the arcades,
adding two more levels much to the delight of fans. Defining the side
scrolling action genre for all the games that followed it, Golden Axe con-
tinues to be popular among gamers today.
