NEC are a Japanese electronics firm, responsible for a number of parts used in Sega consoles, and they have published video games for Sega consoles. NEC also released the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a rival to the Sega Mega Drive.

NEC's in-house video game development team before the mid-1990s was called NEC Avenue; this was eventually consolidated with other software developers to form NEC Interchannel. Their NEC Home Electronics division was also responsible for developing and publishing video games during the NEC Interchannel years.
