NEC (Nippon Electric Company; 日本電気株式会社) are a Japanese electronics firm, responsible for a number of parts used in Sega console and arcade hardware. NEC also released the PC-Engine/TurboGrafx-16, a rival to the Sega Mega Drive. NEC later published video games for Sega consoles.
NEC's in-house video game development team before the mid-1990s was called NEC Avenue; this was eventually consolidated with other software developers to form NEC Interchannel. Their NEC Home Electronics (日本電気ホームエレクトロニクス) division was also responsible for developing and publishing video games during the NEC Interchannel years.
