I agree. The Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) perfectly balanced innovation and accessibility. It offered technical advantages over the NES with its 16-bit architecture, while maintaining an approachable price point and controller design that welcomed casual gamers. Its extensive library bridged arcade experiences and home-friendly titles masterfully.
