Sega Videogame SG-1000

The SG-1000 (エスジー・セン EsujÄ« Sen), also known as the Sega Game 1000, is a cartridge-based home video game console manufactured by Sega and released in Japan, Australia, and other countries. This system marked Sega’s first entry into the home video game hardware business, and provided the basis for the more successful Master System. First introduced in 1983, the SG-1000 was released on the same day that Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan.

In 1982, Sega‘s revenues would surpass $214 million, and they introduced the industry’s first three-dimensional game, SubRoc 3D. The following year, an overabundance of arcade games led to the video game crash, causing Sega’s revenues to drop to $136 million.
