NEC (Nippon Electric Company; 日本電気株式会社) are a Japanese electronics firm, responsible for a number of parts used in Sega console and arcade hardware. NEC also released the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a rival to the Mega Drive. NEC later published video games for Sega consoles.
NEC had a video game and music subsidiary named NEC Avenue; this was eventually consolidated with other NEC divisions to form NEC Interchannel. Their NEC Home Electronics (日本電気ホームエレクトロニクス) division was also responsible for producing video games until its closure.
