Back in the late eighties and early nineties, we had two video game
companies going head to head for supremacy. Nintendo and Sega. While the
Sega Master System made plenty of waves in Europe it never quite got
the same market that Nintendo had with the NES in North America, that
was until the Sega Genesis (known as the Megadrive to the rest of the
world) came onto the scene in all its 16-bit glory becoming real
competition for Nintendo, which would later come out with the Super
Nintendo, and both companies had its signature mascot as seen above.
