From Sega's perspective, everything east of Europe and west of Japan/South Korea is classed as "Asia". This is a very large region and covers dozens of countries, but the markets are generally considered to be quite small as we're dealing with second world and potentially even third world countries.  
From Sega's perspective, everything east of Europe and west of Japan/South Korea is classed as "Asia". This is a very large region and covers dozens of countries, but the markets are generally considered to be quite small as we're dealing with second world and potentially even third world countries. The company made more of an effort to localise for specific countries with the [[Sega Master System]], but generally targeted fewer countries and was not tremendously successful.
 
  
With the Mega Drive, we generally see the same hardware distributed across this region, sometimes in the same basic boxes, but with added stickers, leaflets and support by localised distributors. Similar to Europe, Sega also was unable to market their console in every country in the region, however whereas the vast majority of Europe was covered by Sega, only a minority of Asia saw traditional Mega Drive consoles, and the timeline is patchy.

From a hardware perspective, there are only a few Mega Drive models - Sega built "one size fits all" systems in with either PAL or NTSC video output, and sold the system in whichever country they could. The Asian "region" covers the middle east, the islands of south east Asia, and the likes of India, China and Russia on the mainland. This consoles were also sold in Africa and even in some parts of Eastern Europe. It does not cover Japan, nor does it cover South Korea.

Mega Drives are still in production in Asia to this day, mostly handled by [[AtGames]] who ship scaled down consoles to all over the world, but they will not be covered on this page.

Mega Drives were later produced by third party companies like [[AtGames]] who ship scaled down consoles all over the world, but they will not be covered on this page.

===Steepler/AOZT Dendy===
 +
In addition to the official products in ex-USSR region, it was possible to buy Mega Drive from [[Steepler]] and AOZT Dendy. Some of them came from the original sources, like [[Nissho Iwai]] (Sega's agent for Eastern European markets) or South East Asia but other ones were clones with the same name as Sega console. Prices from 1994-1996 are difficult to determine because they don’t decrease over the years, but increase due to the economic situation. Chain of stores created by Steepler/AOZT Dendy was very popular in the countries of that region and had many resellers, therefore the Sega consoles distributed by them were very widespread here.

The first original consoles could only be purchased from [[Nissho Iwai]] which distributed them to authorized distributors like [[Forrus]] (1993-1996), [[Buka]] (1994-1999), [[Mikrodin]] (1993-1996) and other. After 1996, [[Sega Europe]] distributed consoles through Buka (1994-1999), [[Bitman]] (1996-1997) and [[R-Style]] (1996-1999).
The Philippines, Taiwan and Myanmar were the only other Asian markets apart from Japan and South Korea which used NTSC.

===Super Bitman===
Whilst the original Mega Drive had an internal RF modulator which meant different models were required for different countries' TV Systems the Mega Drive 2 had an external RF modulator which meant the same model could be sold throughout PAL Asia.

In 1996, Sega began to work with Bitman, a Russian clone distributor, so Super Bitman became an official clone.<ref>https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/233963</ref>

[[Alesayi United]] were Sega's distributors throughout the Gulf region, this includes Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates. Alesayi initially distributed the Mega Drive 2 in the Gulf via their "DOTTS" brand, but had switched to using Aleyasi United by the time that they distributed the [[Sega 32X]] in the region. It would seem likely that this model would have also been sold by them due to the presence of Arabic in the manual.

Latest revision as of 19:32, 22 March 2024

From Sega's perspective, everything east of Europe and west of Japan/South Korea is classed as "Asia". This is a very large region and covers dozens of countries, but the markets are generally considered to be quite small as we're dealing with second world and potentially even third world countries.

With the Mega Drive, we generally see the same hardware distributed across this region, sometimes in the same basic boxes, but with added stickers, leaflets and support by localised distributors. Sega also was unable to market their console in every country in the region and the timeline is patchy.

From a hardware perspective, there are only a few Mega Drive models - Sega built "one size fits all" systems in with either PAL or NTSC video output, and sold the system in whichever country they could. The Asian "region" covers the middle east, the islands of south east Asia, and the likes of India, China and Russia on the mainland. These consoles were also sold in Africa and even in some parts of Eastern Europe. It does not cover Japan, nor does it cover South Korea.

Mega Drives were later produced by third party companies like AtGames who ship scaled down consoles all over the world, but they will not be covered on this page.

Steepler/AOZT Dendy

In addition to the official products in ex-USSR region, it was possible to buy Mega Drive from Steepler and AOZT Dendy. Some of them came from the original sources, like Nissho Iwai (Sega's agent for Eastern European markets) or South East Asia but other ones were clones with the same name as Sega console. Prices from 1994-1996 are difficult to determine because they don’t decrease over the years, but increase due to the economic situation. Chain of stores created by Steepler/AOZT Dendy was very popular in the countries of that region and had many resellers, therefore the Sega consoles distributed by them were very widespread here.
