Sega created two network services to support the Genesis: Sega Meganet and Sega Channel.

It was released in several different versions, some created by third parties. Several add-ons were released, including a Power Base Converter to play Master System games.

It plays a library of more than 900 games created by Sega and a wide array of third-party publishers delivered on ROM-based cartridges. The game also takes advantage of the six-button controllers of the Mega Drive.The Sega Genesis, known as the Mega Driveĭesigned by an R&D team supervised by Hideki Sato and Masami Ishikawa, the Genesis was adapted from Sega's System 16 arcade board, centered on a Motorola 68000 processor as the CPU, a Zilog Z80 as a sound controller, and a video system supporting hardware sprites, tiles, and scrolling. The perspective is back to the traditional side-view of the first Contra (while the others also had some top-down sections). Much better! Unlike the previous games, Hard Corps features a more complex storyline, with various branches and several cutscenes that will help the player understand the plot.

Each player can choose one of the four different characters, and this time you are not limited to a single weapon you can carry four of them. As usual, the game can be played in co-op with a friend, and this is where the fun really starts. In case you are wondering, the "hard corps" are super-soldiers trained to combat crime and terrorism, and in this case, they need to stop an evil hacker that took control of the city robots. Hard Corps is the sequel to Contra III, and it's the first (and only) game of the series to be released for the Sega Genesis. Contra III was the first game released for 16-bit consoles, specifically the SNES.

The sequel, Super Contra, also got an Amiga and an MS-DOS version. The Contra series started as an arcade with the first game Contra, a success that was also ported to several 8-bit platforms, including NES, MSX, and Commodore 64. Contra: Hard Corps, also known as Probotector, is a shoot 'em-up created by Konami and published in 1994 for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive.
