Mega Drive consoles in Europe
From Sega Retro
The European Sega Mega Drive debuted in the Winter of 1990. As with most European consoles, the systems are identical across all European countries, however were often marketed differently and received localised content.
Current sources do not make the distinction between "Europe" and "United Kingdom", so it is unknown exactly which regions each model was released in. In countries such as Australia and New Zealand, consoles were often imported from Europe due to similarities in television hardware. Again at this present time it is difficult to confirm which systems reached these countries.
Most European models output a PAL composite video signal, as well as localized RF output. French models don't have composite video or RF output; instead, they only have RGB output using the regular A/V out port.
In Central and Southern Europe (except for Greece) all consoles were imported by distributors from Germany or Austria, that's why they do not differ too much from them. However, models found in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova are described in this article[1].
