Manufacturer : Sega
Year : 1989
We have : 2 cabinets + 
spare PCB...
Owned by : Pelikonepeijoonit
Info : A Sega Genesis & Master System (!) based system similar to the Nintendo Playchoice 10. Has 8 slots for games and the cartridges look exactly like Japanese Megadrive carts, but there's an extra BIOS in the carts so they're not compatible with Genesis or Master System. After the Mega-Tech Sega released a similar system called MegaPlay, which was JAMMA compatible. MegaTech and MegaPlay carts are not interchangable. The original cabinet has two monitors: one for playing, other for choosing the game. Main CPU is  MC68000 at 8 Mhz, sound CPU is Z80 (which is the main cpu in Master System mode) and the actual sound chip is the YM2612.

The games we have for it :

Moonwalker, Columns, Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf, E-Swat, Super Monaco GP, Super Real Basketball, Shadow Dancer and World Championship Soccer.
