Before Xbox Live, PSN, Steam and OnLive there was SEGA Channel! :) . This is a quick look at the SEGA Channel adapter for the Mega Drive/Genesis which was an early 'games on demand' service from the mid 90's. I give a quick overview of the service and hardware.

For a good laugh I highly recommend searching for 'Sega Channel promo-1' here on YouTube. "WOW!" XD

There's also a pretty good Wiki page on the service here if you're interested in more details about the service...

Finding these adapters is kinda tricky nowadays. All hardware was supposed to be returned to the service provider on cancellation of the subscription so they aren't very common. I found this one on ebay so that's where I recommend looking if you fancy adding one to your collection.

Thanks for watching! :)
