* [[Long Runner]]: It was launched in 1988, and it wasn't formally discontinued until 1998. ''But'', there are still versions of the console on sale today, and there were actually a few new games released for it in the last decade, [[wikipedia:Blue Almanac|the most recent of which]] came out ''in 2011''.
* [[Polygon Ceiling]]: Towards the end of its life in the mid-nineties Sega attempted to create (at least the illusion of) 3D games on the system, such as with ''[[Sonic 3D: Flickies' Island]]'', ''Vectorman 2'', certain levels in ''[[Jurassic Park|The Lost World]]'' and others. While the graphics were ambitious for a 16-bit system, the gameplay tended to suffer as a result. Virtua Racing managed to break through it thanks to using the Sega Virtua Processor chip to allow real time 3D graphics, but the added cost of this chip (which skyrocketed the games cost to 100$) kept anymore games with the SVP from being made.
** To add insult to injury, due to relying on certain hardware, Virtua Racing was incompatible with the Model 3 Genesis ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqpWRc9BE_A unless you mod it]) and pretty much all of the unofficial clone systems. So if you bought the game years later and happened to own a Model 3 system, you were SOL.
* [[Product Facelift]]: The Genesis went through the most redesigns of ''any'' video game console in history--first, there's the model 1, which also has a link port (meant for the cancelled Sega Meganet) in the very, very earliest models, the more famous, streamlined model 2 Genesis, the Sega CDX which was a clever (but expensive) hybrid of the Genesis and Sega CD, the Model 3 Genesis from Majesco, which was as big as the ''controller'', and then there's the Sega Meganet/The Sega Nomad, both of which are literally portable Sega Genesis consoles! There is even a licensed version of the Genesis released in Europe, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4Ey5zKKldY AtGames Sega Mega Drive 20-in-1 Game Console], which contains 20 games built into the console and has [[Region Coding]] fully unlocked, is even smaller than the Model 3 Genesis, and has unofficially been dubbed the "Model 4 Genesis".
