Mega Drive consoles in Asia

From Sega Retro

From Sega's perspective, everything east of Europe and west of Japan/South Korea is classed as "Asia". This is a very large region and covers dozens of countries, but the markets are generally considered to be quite small as we're dealing with second world and potentially even third world countries.

With the Mega Drive, we generally see the same hardware distributed across this region, sometimes in the same basic boxes, but with added stickers, leaflets and support by localised distributors. Sega also was unable to market their console in every country in the region and the timeline is patchy.

From a hardware perspective, there are only a few Mega Drive models - Sega built "one size fits all" systems in with either PAL or NTSC video output, and sold the system in whichever country they could. The Asian "region" covers the middle east, the islands of south east Asia, and the likes of India, China and Russia on the mainland. These consoles were also sold in Africa and even in some parts of Eastern Europe. It does not cover Japan, nor does it cover South Korea.

Mega Drives were later produced by third party companies like AtGames who ship scaled down consoles all over the world, but they will not be covered on this page.

Russia and CIS

Steepler/AOZT Dendy

In addition to the official products in ex-USSR region, it was possible to buy Mega Drive from Steepler and AOZT Dendy. Some of them came from the original sources, like Nissho Iwai (Sega's agent for Eastern European markets) or South East Asia but other ones were clones with the same name as Sega console. Prices from 1994-1996 are difficult to determine because they don’t decrease over the years, but increase due to the economic situation. Chain of stores created by Steepler/AOZT Dendy was very popular in the countries of that region and had many resellers, therefore the Sega consoles distributed by them were very widespread here.

Official distribution

The first original consoles could only be purchased from Nissho Iwai which distributed them to authorized distributors like Forrus (1993-1996), Buka (1994-1999), Mikrodin (1993-1996) and other. After 1996, Sega Europe distributed consoles through Buka (1994-1999), Bitman (1996-1997) and R-Style (1996-1999).
