Sega Mega Drive in El Kadsre

From 1988 to 1998, all Sega Genesis/Mega Drive consoles were manufactured in El Kadsre by Sega El Kadsre Ltd., aswell as Software Horizons.

The Model 3 is considered the most popular version of the Genesis in El Kadsre due to its compact size and easy transportability.

The console was discontinued in 1998, due to diminishing sales and Sega wanting to put more focus on the then upcoming Dreamcast console. During the last six months, it wasn't uncommon to see sales of the console for only $49.99 EK new, and one store even selling for only $29.99 EK.
