− | The European [[Sega Mega Drive]] debuted in the Winter of 1990. As with most European consoles, the systems are identical across all European countries, however were often marketed differently and received localised content. | + | The list of '''Mega Drive consoles in Europe''' is divided into four, as defined in [[Sega Retro:Regions of the world]]: |
| | | |
− | Current sources do not make the distinction between "Europe" and "United Kingdom", so it is unknown exactly which regions each model was released in. In countries such as Australia and New Zealand, consoles were often imported from Europe due to similarities in television hardware. Again at this present time it is difficult to confirm which systems reached these countries.

− | The original Mega Drive package for Europe, debuting in 1990. It shipped with the earlier style European gamepad and with no pack-in games. In fact, it's the only version of the console not to have any game screenshots on its box, presumably because not many games had been released by this point. There is a French variant tying into their ad campaigns.

| |
− | Like its North American and Japanese cousins, the Mega Drive was bundled with ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (16-bit)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' in mid-1991, and was also sold with an extra control pad. The control pads here are cost-reduced versions - mostly the same, but have slightly different labeling and no red text on the buttons. This would continue from this point onwards.

| |
− | Oddly the above model was replaced with this cut-down version, that lacked the extra control pad. Rather than produce a brand new box, Sega simply put a sticker over the image.

− | Likely only released in France, a Mega Drive with ''[[Astérix and the Great Rescue (Mega Drive)|Astérix and the Great Rescue]]'' and ''Sonic'' was released. This may have been to shift older stock - the Mega Drive II was well into production when this ''Astérix'' game came out.
