Sega Genesis not became very popular in Japan because of its main competitors (PC Engine and Super Famicom), however it was quite successful in the US and Europe. As carriers for the games were used cartridges that could be inserted on the top of the console.

The name in the United States had to be replaced just because it was not possible to register a trademark – Mega Drive. The first release was held in Japan, the name of the console was Mega Drive, a year later it came to the United States under the name Genesis, and a year later released in other countries, again with the name Mega Drive.
