Jet Set Radio, a lesson in individualism

Sega has always been a hero As could any fan of the very popular blue hedgehog, I could go on and on about why and how Sega revolutionized the landscape of gaming, as well as served as Nintendo’s rival for many years after the video game crash of 1983. Sega has done so much more for gamers across the world than we often give them credit for, far beyond the realms of Sonic the Hedgehog. Having produced many consoles in their career timeline, two distinctly return into the argument of best consoles of all time. Firstly, the Sega Genesis for all of its 16-bit “blast processing” power, as well as its long and varied library of games that include both exclusives and games shared among other consoles. Along with that, it carried two very intricate and technologically new and interesting add-ons, the Sega 32x (built to support games with 32-bit levels of technical demand), and the Sega CD (a CD based add on that game way to games that featured Full Motion video as well as higher quality audio that had not yet been seen in home console video games at the time).
