Revision as of 05:17, 1 May 2022

Despite its late arrival, the redesigned and further cost-reduced Genesis 3 unit became a popular item in South America... despite not being officially released there. Though some were imported from North America, many more clone consoles were manufactured on the cheap (the Mega 3 for example is extremely common in Argentina). Unlicensed Genesis 3 clones were manufactured well into the 2000s and may still be in production to this day.

Due to the vast number of Genesis 3 clones, we have also split some by geographical region:

Russia

Genesis 2

Maybe 2 but it looks like 3.

Mega Drive 3 (Simba's)

Distributed by Simba's Video Games.

Dream Master II

Sold from 2004 by Game Systems.[1]

Others

Dream Play
