This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.


During the era of the Sega Mega Drive, Australia were given their own supply of video games through OziSoft. Throughout Australia's modern video game history, the country has been given the same content as Europe, albeit often altered to fit the requirements of the OFLC. In the case of the Mega Drive, releases are split between those manufactured by Ozisoft and those imported from Europe. For this reason we cannot be entirely sure how many bundles and models were released in the country.

Note: Bundles may be missing components such as manuals, promotional flyers and leads. Information may be incorrect at this stage, and the list is very much incomplete.

Mega Drive ("Supersonic Offer")

Mega Drive II (with Jurassic Park, Sonic 2, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle and Columns)

Mega Drive II (with NBA Jam)

One of the weirder bundles. Comes with both a three button and a six button controller, usually it's one or the other.

Mega Drive II ("Pink")

Aside from an offer to win an NBA Jam arcade cabinet, it's not sure how this differs from the above.

Mega Drive II (with The Jungle Book)

Mega Drive II (with Sonic the Hedgehog 2)

This is a later bundle than the one seen in other regions of the world, as it sports six button controllers. Might have been a Target exclusive?

Mega Drive II (with "Sonic Triple 3 Pack")

Note: Assumed to be a Sonic Compilation cartridge rather than three separate carts.
