On This Day In 1989, the Sega Genesis was released in the United States.

In Europe, it was known as the 'Mega Drive'. 

As this gaming console packed 16-bit, the company saw good success but felt they were missing one ingredient.

In the attempt to overcome Nintendo's Mario, Sega created Sonic The Hedgehog in 1991 and went to another level of acclaim.

They would also become the go-to console for sports games as Electronic Arts was enjoying a great partnership with Sega with games such as Madden, FIFA and NHL.

The console was so good and loved that it lasted for 8 years until it was discontinued in 1997.
