1990

The New Generation of Game Consoles. At the beginning of the 1990s, a new generation of video game consoles emerged. One of the most important systems of this era was the SEGA Mega Drive, introduced at the end of the 1980s and widely adopted during the early 1990s.

 

The console offered more powerful graphics, faster processors, and more complex games than many previous systems. This allowed developers to create fast action games, larger game worlds, and more detailed animations.

The Mega Drive became especially famous for titles such as Sonic the Hedgehog, which quickly became SEGA’s mascot and intensified the competition with rival company Nintendo.

The 1990s became a crucial period in the history of video games, as home consoles grew increasingly powerful and video games turned into a global entertainment industry.
