In 1989, SEGA and Nintendo became rivals when the SEGA Genesis released. At first, it was pretty fuckin' OK. With blast processing (which means you're processing a fart nowadays) and some good games, it was unstoppable. That is, up until 1994 when the PlayStation released and kicked its ass. SEGA released the SEGA CD in response, only for that to backfire because they killed FMV with that thing. When they released the 32x, they knew they fucked up. Every game on it sucked, the advertising sucked dick (literally), and it was too bloody anticipated. Quite literally no one bought it at launch. In 1996, however, SEGA JP came up with the stupidest idea ever. To put the Genesis down, even though it had some life left in it. I mean, at this point it was plagued with shovelware so I'm not surprised anymore. Of course SEGA was gonna put it down after it became the skid marks of what it once was, soooo...
