Sega Club
From Sega Retro
Sega Club was a brand of products created by Sega of America in the mid-1990s. The aim was to group games for younger children under the brand, presumably so consumers could spot children's games from a distance.
The Sega Club project came into fruition around July of 1994 with the release of Wacky Worlds. The project was vastly scaled down from its original intentions - Sega had planned to release a special "Sega Club" edition of the Sega Mega Drive (model 2), Control Pad and Mega Mouse with a colour scheme more akin to PAL variants of the console (and the switch from the Japanese model), but this idea was axed at some point. Only a Sega Club version of the Six Button Control Pad survived, though rather than adopting a unique colour scheme, Sega merely sold the smaller-styled Japanese stock and marketed it for "smaller hands".
There was also a set of Sega Club games for the Sega Game Gear. In Brazil a similar line of products was released under Mega Kids branding.
Several games were released with Sega Club branding, all for the Mega Drive or Game Gear (with the exception of the Sega Master System port of Bonkers Wax Up! in Brazil), and all after 1994. There was also a game released for the Sega CD called Kids on Site. The vast majority of Sega Club games were released outside of the Americas. The unreleased Barbie Vacation Adventure was also set to become part of the series.
