Sega Megadrive peripherals

**Goldberg** · 8th November 2013

Wow, just when I thought I had seen them all I keep finding more!!
The Megadrive must have had the most peripherals over any other console ever!

The obvious ones are the Mega CD, the 32X etc... But I thought I have stumbled across some really obscure ones recently!

The Mega Anser which turned it into a Banking Terminal, numerous Pads/Controllers, Sega's own Power Strip, a Baseball Controller which suggests Sega beat Nintendo to the Wii-Mote, a Karaoke Machine Add on, Keyboards, Mice... Seriously check this site out:

I only know of three of those, chair, six button pad and arcade stick.

What a set of bizarre stuff.

I wanted that chair so bad.

Look at the link, I have only scratched the surface with the images. Yes, the chair I was very jealous about as a kid. I wanted it and I wanted it to do what Afterburner 360 did in the arcade!

I had a four way play.. Game support was limited though, think it was an EA game I had that used it?

Code masters had the best idea by putting the extra controller ports on the cartridge for Micro Machines.

it was just Codemasters that did the J-Cart, but they did it for Brian Lara Cricket and also Pete Sampras Tennis as well, great money saver it was because MM2 was the only one worth having 4 player games with and the game cost you no more than any other game which didn't have the J-Cart option
