While the Sega Genesis has had mediocre RPGs (role-playing games), their sports and action games dominated the early half of the 1990s only to be succeeded by the Super NES when advancements in Nintendo's Mode 7 technology made rapid rotating possible in the year 1994. After that, Sega Genesis' sports games (especially American football) were sub-par compared to the Super NES sports games.

ROM Images

Sega Genesis ROM images generally have the extension .BIN, although some ROMs are in a different format, such as the Super Magic Drive ROM format (.SMD). These formats are harder to hack because of swapped bytes and other changes, so they should be converted to the normal binary format (.BIN) before you try to hack them.

Tototek sells the "MD-PRO 64M flash Card plus kit" for $100 (USD) which can be used to dump Sega Genesis roms [1].
