The 2007 release of the '''Mega Drive 3''' is a "console on a chip" sold exclusively in Brazil by Sega's Brazilian distributor, [[Tectoy]]. Unlike previous releases by the distributor, this was the first [[Sega Mega Drive]] to not include a cartridge slot, meaning only the 81 built in games can be played.

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.


The Mega Drive 3 is a "console on a chip" Sega Mega Drive distributed exclusively in Brazil by Tec Toy in 2007. It was advertised with the unique marketing gimmick in which the physical surface of the console acts like a canvas; the system shipped with a special marker, and customers were encouraged to decorate their new consoles with their own unique designs.

Design

The console is physically identical to a Sega Mega Drive 2, though is painted white with blue logotype. It does not feature a cartridge slot, and unlike previous models, only supports composite video output. It would also be the final Tec Toy console based on a Sega design until the 2017 relaunch of its original Sega Mega Drive.

The system’s inital release included a purple marker intended for customizing its white canvas-like surface with art, decorations, and the like. Later releases did not ship with an included marker, although the system retained its white surface.

Games

A total of 81 built-in games are included.
