explanation: Consumer machine released by Sega in November 1998. It was said to be the first game machine of 128 bits. In actual fact, the only graphic chip works with 128 bits while CPU (Hitachi sh4) works only with 32 bits. Anyway, it deserves the name of a "new generation" because of a bus of 100 mega hertz (comparable to the top level PC), a GD-Rom drive (CD-Rom of 1 giga bytes) and an incorporated modem to play together by connecting to Internet.
