SEGA
SC-3000
The first Sega attempt to enter the videogame market outside Japan
(in their home country they had already marketed the SG-1000
system).
The system was distributed in Japan by Sega and in various European
countries, in Australia and in the Far Eastern markets by different
local distributors and enjoyed a limited success thanks to many good
Sega coin-op convertions.
The SC-3000 is a Z-80-based computer that has a lot in common with
the famous MSX standard and with the Colecovision technology.
THE SYSTEM
The SC-3000. This is the basic model (another one, the
SC-3000H with a so called "Professional keyboard" was also
marketed).
THE ADS
This was the ad published in an Italian videogame magazine
(Videogiochi). The system was distributed in Italy by
Melchioni (before they marketed also Atari products). In the
pic there is also the dedicated joystick.
