about

...the fanlistings
A fanlisting is a place for all fans of a particular show, movie, actor, actress, singer, etc. to come together and build the biggest listing of people from all around the world who are fans of that subject.

... the megadrive/genesis game system
The story of the Genesis began in the late '80s, in the wake of Sega's first attempt at a home console in the Master System. While a hit in Europe, the 8-bit Master System could not compete with rival Nintendo in the U.S. or Japan. However, Sega still dominated in one key area -- arcades. Sega's coin-op hardware was the most advanced around, and games like Shinobi, Space Harrier, and After Burner lit up arcades worldwide. Logically, Sega's next foray into the home market would try to bring the arcade experience home. The result was the Genesis Video Entertainment System.

The Genesis was launched in August of 1989. It featured a powerful 16-bit processor capable of delivering nearly arcade-perfect graphics, a six-channel stereo sound chip, and contoured three-button controllers. It also boasted backwards compatibility with the Master System with a device called the Power Base Converter. The system even came with a version of the arcade hit Altered Beast packed right in the box. With its rich sound, expanded colors, and sheer processing muscle, the Genesis hardware truly heralded a new era of gaming.
