Mega Stick

Manufacturer: ASCII, Cluster Corporation

Release	Date	RRP	Code

The Mega Stick is an arcade stick for the Sega Mega Drive most likely manufactured by ASCII. It is an officially licensed product in Europe, however in North America and Japan it is merely a third-party product. The US variant is called the Power Clutch SG while the Japanese version is called the Cluster Stick (and is manufactured by Cluster Corporation). The Japanese model has different labeling but performs identically.

The Mega Stick is a three button controller with the same features as a three-button Arcade Power Stick. However, it is a smaller and therefore cheaper unit.
