The Mega Drive X is a unlicensed Sega Mega Drive clone manufactured by Simba. It was distributed in China, Russia and parts of Europe, and seems to have a shell based on the Genesis 3. It's compatible with the Master System Converter II. It comes with a manual in Russian, a power adapter, AV and RF (sometimes) cables, and two six-button turbo controllers. It has overclock, region, and hertz switches on the bottom. It's notable for having heavy input lag.

There are numerous differences in different areas between revisions; it's unknown how many different combinations were produced. One variation has "16-Bit" printed on top, one has the Sega logo, and one has nothing. One has an RF port, while the other does not. There is even a variation with different, console-on-a-chip internals possibly made by another company- this one has a chip date of 2010, but was sold online as recently as 2012. There are three box types (and another with just a spelling fix), the later, more common two seemingly correlating with the console-on-a-chip version and having Pokémon pictures on the side for some reason.
