Njengoko incwadi ye-Retro isitshela, ngasekupheleni kweminyaka ye-1980 i-big bang eyenzekayo eyenze ukusa kwexesha elitsha kwimidlalo yevidiyo yasekhaya. Isiganeko sobuninzi beBhayibhile obangela umdlalo wokudlala kwi-8-bit encinci kunye nendlela echanekileyo eya kuguqulwa kwimidlalo yevidiyo namhlanje. Ikhonsoli idalwe ukusuka kumbhobho (okanye ubuncinci i-tech) yongaphambili wayo. SEGA UGenesis, ukusa kwexesha le-16-bit.
Amazwi asemqoka:
- Igama: Sega Genesis (North America), Sega Mega Drive (eJapan, eYurophu, eBrazil)
- Uhlobo: I-console ye-16-bit
- Umhla: 1988 (eJapan), 1989 (eNyakatho Melika), 1990 (eBrazil)
- Isizukulwana sesi-4 seMidlalo yeMidlalo
Ngaphambi kokuqala:
Nge-8-bit ye- Nintendo Entertainment System ephethe imakethe yemidlalo yevidiyo ukusuka ngo-1984 ukuya ku-1989, umenzi we-co-op-arcade umenzi we-Sega waphonsa isitya sawo kwi-console yekhaya ekhaya ne-Sega Master System.
Eyilwe ukuhamba ngentloko ukuya kwi-NES, i-Master System ikhuphe iminyaka emininzi emva kwe-NES, kwaye ngelixa kwakusenyuka phambili kolukhuphiswano, akuzange kubanjwe eNyakatho Melika. Ngoxa i-Master System yayisisigxina esikhulu eYurophu kwaye yaba yinkqubo ebalulekileyo eBrazil, e-US naseKhanada bekuhlala kuthathwa njenge-NES yomntu oyimpofu, kungekho "i-app killer". ukudlala i- Super Mario Bros. 3 kwiinkqubo zabo zeNintendo .
Emva kweminyaka yokulwa neengcewa zemarike, uSega waqulunqa isicwangciso esitsha. Esikhundleni sokukhupha i-piggybacking kwi-market-current ye-8-bit yokudlala, babeza kuba yiyona yokuqala ye-console ye-16-bit yokuthengisa kunye nenkqubo engaphelelanga nje kuphela kodwa ukwandisa amandla ayo ngokusebenzisa uchungechunge lwee-périphherals.
Ukususela kwiMega Drive ifika kwiGenesis:
Igama le nkqubo libizwa ngokuba yiSega Mega Drive, nangona kunjalo e-United States amalungelo okubizwa ngegama leMega Drive sele sele anelinye ikhampani, ngoko emva kokuphikisana kwephawu lokuthengisa uSega wakhetha ukusebenzisa igama elithile kwinkqubo eNyakatho Melika. I-Mega Drive yaziwa ngokuba yiSega Genesis e-US naseKhanada, eyenza ibe yi-console yokuqala ebizwa emva kwencwadi yebhayibhile, ebonisa ukuba yayiqhawula ixesha elitsha kwimidlalo yevidiyo, kwaye yenzani.
Ukuza kweGenesis
I-Sega Genesis iyona ndlela yokuqala ye-16-bit console. Ngoxa i-TurboGrafx-16 idlulile ngaphambili ukukhululwa kweGenesis / Mega Drive, akuyiyo inkqubo ye-bit-16 ngokwenene; Ikhadi lemizobo yayingama-16-bit, kodwa i-CPU yayise-8-bit. Kwakhona, ngelixa i-TGX16 ikhutshwe eJapan phambi kweMega Drive, iSega yashaya i-TGX16 ukuthengisa kwiNyakatho yeMerika ngeveki ezimbalwa.
I-SEGA Mega Drive yaqalisa eJapan ngo-Oktobha ka-1988 ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezingenanto. Imarike yaseJapan yayilawulwa yiTurboGrafx-16 (ebizwa ngokuba yi-Injini ye-PC eJapan), eyayisele iqalise umnyaka ngaphambi kwaye yayingathengisa i-Famicom (iJapan version ye-NES), kwaye yabamba isabelo semarike ukuba uSega akakwazi ukuphula nangona kunjalo.
Kwiinyanga ezilishumi kamva, ngo-Agasti ka-1989, i-SEGA ikhishwe i-SEGA Genesis kwiNyakatho yeMerika, inqwaba kunye nechweba le-con-op yayo ye-con-op i-arcade ibetha isilwanyana esiphezulu. Ngelo xesha i-CEO ye-CEO uMichael Katz wayesebenze ndawonye umkhankaso wokuthengisa ngokugqithiseleyo kwaye ugxininise kwimidlalo ejoliswe ngqo kwimakethe yaseMelika esebenzisa amagama adumile ukuthengisa imidlalo, njengaye.
Iinqwelo zeekhonsoli:
Ngoxa iGenesis yayithengiswa kakuhle, ekupheleni kwee-80s yayingasaphanga i-Nintendo ye-market share that still dominated North America, kwaye yayibulela ngokukhululela ukukhululwa kwe- Super Mario Bros 3 ngo-1988.
Oku kukhokelela kwimfazwe ye-console kunye neSega kunye neNintendo ekulwela ngokubanzi. Iingcebiso eziye zazama ukuthengisa imarike yaseMntla yaseMelika njengeTGX-16 ne- Neo-Geo yawela ngasendleleni.
I-CEO yekomkhulu le-Sega laseJapan linqume ukutshintsha ulawulo lweSega waseMelika ukusuka kuMichael Katz ukuya kuTom Kalinske. Iinkampani ezintsha ze-CEO ezisisiseko sase-United States zaqala ukuhlambalaza, zijolise ngaphaya kweentengiso kunye nodumo lwamakhredithi ukuze zithengise imidlalo, kodwa kunoko ekumiseni i-franchise app killer ngqo kwiGenesis.
I-Hedgehog ebophe i-Scales:
Ngomnyaka we-1991 isiqalo sokuqala saqala ukuvela. Nintendo ephethe iingonyama zeemakethe sibonga kwi- Super Mario Bros franchise, u-Sega ekugqibeleni wathola umdlalo oye wabonisana ngokufanayo, uSonic uHedgehog. Eyilwe ngokuyinhloko kubaphulaphuli baseMelika, u- Sonic wayenomdla wokukhawuleza kunye ne-platformer entsha kunye ne-instant hit. AmaGamers aqala ukukhawuleza ukuba aphume kwaye athathe umdlalo weGenesis oneminyaka emibili ubudala nje ukuba adlale umdlalo omtsha oshushu.
Nangona kunjalo uNintendo wayenesixhobo sakhe sokulwa kwimfazwe ye-console, unyaka onjalo uNonic okhululwe kumanxweme aseNyakatho Melika, ngoko uNintendo wangena kwixesha eli-16-bit, i- Super Nintendo . I-SNES yayiyi-juggernaut kwishishini kwaye nangona ukuthengisa kweGenesis kwanda ngokunyuka kubulela kuSonic , ngokukhawuleza kwagqitywa yi-SNES.
Emva koko uKalinske waba nobudlova, wachitha i- Alterered Beast njengomdlalo ohlanganiswe kwipakethi kunye neGenesis kwaye wayithatha indawo ye- Sonic , kwaye wawahlawula intengo ye-console nge-$ 10, okwenza kube yinkqubo encinci ye-bit-16 kwi-market. Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kuthatha inzuzo encinci kwi-hardware, kodwa emva kokuba abathengi bethenga iGenesis, i-SEGA yayiya kuba ngaphezu kokubuyisela imali yabo kwimpahla yokuthengisa nganye.
Le midlalo yasebenza kwaye iGenesis yaqala ukulawula ukuthengisa. Ekupheleni kuka-1993 u-Sega wayenama-60% eemarike ze-console ezingama-16 kwiNyakatho yeMerika, kunye nokuthengiswa kwe-Nintendo kwehla kuma-37%.
I-International Mega Drive:
Impumelelo kaSega kwi-90s yaqhubeka iphakama kumazwe ngamazwe. Nangona akuzange kubanjwe eJapan, i-piggybacked kwimpumelelo ye-Master System eYurophu naseBrazil, ngokukhawuleza ibe yindlela efanelekileyo kakhulu yokuthengisa i-16-bit kule mihlaba.
Namhlanje iGenesis isaziwa njengenye yeengqungquthela ezingcono kakhulu, kunye neengingqi ezidumileyo zemidlalo yazo ezikhupha emacaleni eziduduzo ze-Next-Gen, kubandakanya ukuqokelela okukhulu kweSunic Genesis's Ultimate Collection (ebizwa ngokuba yiSega Mega Drive Ultimate Collection emhlabeni jikelele). EBrazil ihlala isebenza ngamandla, i-Mega Drive isakhiwa yiTec Toy kunye nemidlalo emitsha ekhutshwa ngokukhethekileyo eBrazil.
