The Sega Mega Drive 4 is a Sega Mega Drive console clone manufactured by Simba's and later by Dongguan Dewei Electronic Co., Ltd. Despite clearly saying "SEGA" on the underside of the console, the machine is, in fact, not endorsed by Sega in the slightest. It is also strikingly similar to a PAL Sega Mega Drive II, aside from the red dust cover shared by the Japanese version
The console ships with two six button controllers, which too can be identified as fakes due to the "16 BIT" lettering on the front.
