The Remote Arcade System is a wireless alternative to the standard Sega Mega Drive controller. It comprises a Remote Arcade Pad and a receiver, which rely on infrared signals rather than cables (similar to TV remotes). This means the user can control a game from a much larger distance.
The Remote Arcade Pad features six buttons, and the receiver plugs into both of the Sega Mega Drive's controller ports. In order for a second player to play, a second Remote Arcade Pad will need to be purchased. One reciever can handle two controllers. Each pad requires two AAA batteries and lasts for approximately ten hours.
The Sega Saturn had a similar peripheral in the form of the Saturn Infrared Control Pad.
