The '''Fourth Generation Consoles''' (1987-1996) expanded the home console market. The generation started in the late '80s with the release of [[NEC]]'s [[PC-Engine]]. The [[Sega Mega Drive]] was released a year later to compete with the original [[NES]] as well as the [[PC-Engine]]. One year after that, both consoles came to North America as the [[TurboGrafx 16]] and [[Sega Genesis]]. The [[Neo Geo AES]] was also brought into the market as a home version of [[SNK]]'s arcade machine, the [[Neo Geo MVS]]. One year after that, [[Nintendo]] released the [[Super Famicom]] in [[Japan]] and the [[Super Nintendo]] in [[North America]]. To compete with the [[Super Nintendo]], [[Sega]] released the [[Sega CD]], as an add on to the [[Sega Genesis]]. [[Nintendo]] tried to release a CD add on itself, but it was canceled, during this time [[Philips]] made its own console, the [[CD-i]], using the [[Nintendo]] license. The last console released in this time was the [[Atari Jaguar]], which was a technology advance for the time, but failed to capture the market under [[Nintendo]]'s control in the market.

|lore = Creatures that attack the mind are the stuff of nighmares, so it is not surprising that items protecting against them might acquire some of their disrepute. Golden Circlets, for example, have been linked to a claim that when the drow first retreated underground they fed on intellect devourers, and that eating such a creature without first wearing a circlet produced a mind flayer. This is all, of course, nothing more than superstitious tavern talk.
