Introduced in August of 1989, the Sega Genesis started the 16-bit revolution. Though it was beaten to the market by NEC with the Turbo Grafx-16, the Genesis quickly built a large library of games and gained the top spot in the industry. Even two years later, when the SNES hit the scene, Sega refused to yield the top position.

With popular games such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadowrun, Toejam & Earl, and Mutant League Football, it's little wonder that some folks created emulators for the machine. In the end, the Genesis had over 600 different games. So, have fun reminiscing about the glory days of Sega.

Genecyst

Though it only works in DOS, Genecyst is, bar none, the best Genesis emulator on the PC. With full stereo sound, saving and loading options, and the fastest graphics around, you can't go wrong with this emulator. As with most emulators, after downloading the program you have to download ROM files of the games you want to play (see below). Have fun!

DGen

Yes, folks, it's DGen, the best Genesis emulator for the Macintosh! With good compatibility and decent sound support, DGen is the one to get. Native to MacOS 8, you need to download the several files to use it with System 7. You do have to download ROMs of your favorite games in order to play (see below). Have fun!

ROM Sites

Note: Due to copyright laws, it is illegal to download a ROM of any game that you do not own, unless you delete it within 24 hours. These laws also make it difficult to keep up with functioning ROM sites and often these sites are not available. Game Revolution does not host any ROM images on our site, nor does Game Revolution endorse piracy.
