The Challenge Européen Sega 1993 was an event held in a train, in 1993 as a successor to Sega Euro Challenge 92 and like its predecessor it comprised of a gaming challenge as well as an exhibition of Sega's latest products.
Like in the previous competition, the train toured by the raillway stations of 22 of the largest French cities, namelly Lille (04/10 and 04/11), Amiens (04/12), Ruen (04/14), Reims (04/17), Strasbourg (04/18), Mulhouse (04/19), Besançon (04/20), Nancy (04/21), Dijon (04/22), Lyon (Perrache; 04/23 and 04/24), Clermont-Ferrand (04/25), Grenoble (04/26), Marseille (Saint Charles; 04/27), Montpellier (04/28), Toulouse (Matablau; 04/29), Bordeaux (Saint Jean; 05/01), Tours (05/02), Angers (05/03), Nantes (05/4), Rennes (05/5), Le Mans (05/6) and Paris (Montparnasse Railway Station; 05/08 and 05/09) where young visitors in two groups, "junior" (12 years and under) and "senior" would compete in two Sega video games for a score, against a time limit, this time on Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Mega Drive. The winners of each city would be qualyfied for a grand final and the winners of each group were entitled to a place in the Sega European Championships 1993, held in Vienna, Austria to dispute the title of European Champion.
Two of the four carriages of the train were transformed, like in the previous year, in ehxibition booths where Sega's latest novelties were exhibited to the French public with each visitor receiving a keyring with a replica of the trophy of the Challenge Européen Sega 1993.
