An Amstrad Mega PC running Zero Wing.
The Amstrad Mega PC is a special Amstrad computer with the added features of a Sega Mega Drive. It was initially released in 1993 in PAL regions for the expensive price of £999.99 (later £599.99). It is unrelated to the Sega Teradrive, though shares similar specifications as the computer side is also powered by an Intel 80386 processor.
Though a rare collector's item now, at the time of release the machine was unsuccessful due to its high retail price (made worse by the fact in 1993 a 386 processor was considered outdated). A later revision, named the Amstrad Mega PC Plus used an 80486 processor and had a RAM upgrade.
