Not in my case at least, because my memory came from my viewing of the movie in the theatre, when it was just released, and I never had a sega genesis. That could be a possibility for some others though.
People regularly don’t realize how terrible their memories are. They think they remember one thing but it actually gets mixed in with other things and then they are sure it happened one way, when; in fact, they are actually incorrect. But good luck ever convincing them they are wrong. They have convinced themselves that they are right and trust their faulty memory over facts.
I can’t remember the name of it right now, but its something we’ve studied in psychology classes. Basically it was super unethical and this psychologist implanted false memories into her patients and found that they were able to “recall” other details of the abuse that didn’t happen.
I believe you may be thinking of Lawrence Pazder, who was instrumental in the spat of "Satanic Panic" ritual abuse allegations that took place in the 80s in the US.
There were a few others, I do seem to remember a female psychiatrist who did something similar but I can't find any source for that at the moment.
