It quickly became a sensation, attracting both gamers looking to upgrade from their 8-bit systems and artists and musicians breaking into the digital world with its robust 16-bit Motorola CPU and unique graphics and audio chipsets.

Over the next decade, it would see a remarkable variety of titles including Rocket Ranger, Populous, Cannon Fodder, Speedball and Worms, which introduced new genres and revolutionized the world of video games.
