The TeraDrive is an IBM PC compatible desktop computer with an intergrated Mega Drive that was developed in-house at SEGA Japan. Released in May 1991, the computer was only ever released in Japan and boasts the ability to run Mega Drive software and a PC operating system at the same time, with the option to switch between the 2 without restarting the system. 3 models of the computer were released to the Japanese market with slightly different specifications. However, the computer used outdated components for the time and proved unpopular as a result. A similar third party computer called the Amstrad Mega PC was released in Western markets in 1993.
