Description

[Machine Translation] Unparalleled hardware performance makes it easy to port arcade games. The number of Sega maniacs increased all over the world. This is the 16-bit console that the times demanded! The latest in the Complete Guide to Retro Game History series focuses on the Mega Drive, which was released in October 1988 and featured a 16-bit CPU with far greater processing power than its predecessors. It also had a built-in FM sound source, and was able to port high-quality PC and arcade games that had been considered impossible due to performance issues. The fact that many of the games were somewhat maniacal also helped the console enjoy overwhelming popularity in North America, where it held the No. 1 share of the North American market. This book covers not only the Mega Drive, but also the "Sega Mark III," a home video game console that was developed before the Mega Drive. It is literally a complete guide that introduces all game software released for both consoles, with photos of game images, packages, and cartridges. This is a book that should be kept on hand along with the Famicom Complete Guide and the PC Engine Complete Guide.

メガドライブ コンプリートガイド with マーク3 / レトロゲーム愛好会/編

圧倒的なハード性能でアーケードゲームもらくらく移植。世界中にセガマニアが大増殖。これが、時代が求めた16ビット機だ! レトロゲームの歴史を紐解くコンプリートガイドシリーズ最新作は、「メガドライブ」に焦点を当てる。1988年10月に発売されたメガドライブは、従来機よりも処理能力が遥かに優れた16ビットCPUを搭載。さらにFM音源も内蔵し、性能の問題で不可能とされていた、PCやアーケードの高品質ゲームの移植も次々に実現。ややマニアックなゲームが多かったことも手伝って北米では圧倒的な人気を誇り、北米シェアNO1も獲得している。本書はメガドライブはもちろんのこと、メガドライブ以前に展開していた家庭用ゲーム機「セガ・マークIII」についても完全カバー。両ハードで発売された全ゲームソフトを、ゲーム画像・パッケージ・カートリッジ画像の写真付きで紹介する文字通りのコンプリートガイドである。ファミコンコンプリートガイド・PCエンジンコンプリートガイドと併せて手元に置きたい、永久保存版の一冊だ。
