If my memory serves me right, I think the 32x was launched with a 250.00 quid price-tag, and only 10 or so games were specifically made for it. It was a rip off and the first nail in the coffin of Sega.
Sega were also was the first console company to allow users to play their old console games on there new console and allow home console games to be played on a portable device.
A converter plugged into your Megadrive and aloud you to play your Master System Games (My first ever console) and Sega also introduced another converter allowing you to play Master System games on your Game Gear.
Thinking about it Sega also introduced us to the Trendy Portable console, releasing new, smaller and sleeker designs for both The Master System and Megadrive.
On the original Megadrives can anybody remember the multi region hack (Sega first with that?). For those of you too young to remember to play USA or Japanese Mega Drive (Genesis) games on your UK megadrive, all you had to do was file (nail file) around the cartridge slot and hey presto you could play the slightly larger US and Jap carts.
Final thing. I suppose we could also say that SEGA also introduced us to the idea of Expandable consoles. As people have said, Sega added the Mega CD (and Mega CD2 ???) and also the 32X. Unfortunately both ideas failed and since then its been downhill for Sega.
RIP Sega hardware - Long live Sega Gaming (Even if it means playing Sega games on a Nintendo platform, aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
