Sega Genesis, known as the Sega Mega Drive outside of North America, was the third home video game console by Sega.

Expansions

The Sega Genesis had several expansions throughout its lifespan.

The Sega CD, known as the Mega CD outside of North America, allowed the system to use CD-ROMs, added a second processor for sound, and expanded the system memory.

The 32X, known as Genesis 32X in North America, Super 32X in Japan, Mega Drive 32X in Europe and Australia, and Mega 32X in Brazil, added two 32-bit processors, more memory and more RAM.

The Sega CD and 32X could be combined and the added capability was utilized in games labeled as supported by the Sega CD 32X.
