Help! is a bundle consisting of five Sega Mega Drive games, sold in the United Kingdom in early 1994.

The package was sold exclusively in branches of Dixons at £49.99, with profits going towards Childline and The Prince's Trust^[1]. Dixons took the full run of 10,000 units, guaranteeing a £420,000 total for the aforementioned charities^[1].

Each game was housed in its own clamshell case, but the package as a whole came in a cardboard wrapper.

It was followed in 1995 by Help! 2.
