The Challenge Européen Sega 1993 was an event held on a train in France, from April 10 to May 9, 1993[2] as a successor to the Sega Euro Challenge 92 and like its predecessor it consisted of a gaming challenge as well as an exhibition[1] of Sega's latest products.
Like in the previous competition, the train toured by the railway stations of 22 of the largest French cities, namely Lille (04/10 and 04/11), Amiens (04/12), Rouen (04/14), Reims (04/17), Strasbourg (04/18), Mulhouse (04/19), Besançon (04/20), Nancy (04/21), Dijon (04/22), Lyon (Lyon-Perrache Railway Station; 04/23 and 04/24), Clermont-Ferrand (04/25), Grenoble (04/26), Marseille (Marseille-Saint-Charles Railway Station; 04/27), Montpellier (04/28), Toulouse (Toulouse-Matabiau Railway Station; 04/29), Bordeaux (Bordeaux-Saint-Jean Railway Station; 05/01), Tours (05/02), Angers (05/03), Nantes (05/04), Rennes (05/05), Le Mans (05/06) and Paris (Montparnasse Railway Station; 05/08 and 05/09) where young visitors from the 22 cities in two groups, "junior" (12 years and under) and "senior" would compete in two Sega video games for a score, against a time limit, this time on Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive[3] (Club Sega members had priority over other competitors in queues and the right to a bonus in points[4]). A total of 48 players (24 from each group) would be qualyfied for a grand final held in Paris on June 27, 1993 at the Aquaboulevard[5], the biggest urban water park in Europe where the winners of each group would be entitled to a place in the Sega European Championships 1993, held in Vienna, Austria to compete for the title of European Champion.
Two of the four[6] carriages of the train were transformed, like in the previous year, into exhibition booths where Sega's latest novelties were exhibited to the French public with each visitor receiving a keyring with a replica[7] of the trophy[7] of the Challenge Européen Sega 1993 as well as an exclusive twenty-page special edition of the French Sega magazine Mega Force, focused entirely on the event, as souvenirs.
