The SEGA SG-1000 has a processor of 4-mbit and a display 256*192 resolution, 16 colours and 32 on-screen sprites. The storage for SEGA SG-1000 is 2KB RAM and 16KB V-RAM. For the connectivity of the game console, you use buttons and a joystick.









In the 2nd generation the games were still simple but this time they added colour into them because the technology got more technical. The storage in the games are still as little but better than the 1st generation. SEGA were established in the 2nd generation. The Atari 2600 was the most dominant console of the 2nd generation. This leads then onto the 3rd generation.
