Release and collector context

Source-linked facts

Genesis Model 1 is a documented regional model of the Mega Drive / Genesis hardware family. The source-linked record places this exact physical configuration in North America in 1989 (the exact day and month are not documented). It remains a separate collector item because its model, color, regional presentation, or bundled configuration differs from the parent hardware record.

Research status: Structured source record

Release context

The documented release is 1989 (the exact day and month are not documented) for North America on Mega Drive / Genesis. Date precision is preserved exactly: the archive does not invent a day when the source records only a month or year.

Regional differences

This record is scoped to North America. The linked structured source does not document a separate regional title or package difference, so PLAYBACK does not infer one.

Physical packaging

The physical format is documented as Regional model. The current structured source does not enumerate every insert, manual, sleeve, or bonus item, so no unverified contents are claimed.

Editions and revisions

This record represents a regional model within the Mega Drive / Genesis family, not a separate console generation.
