There wasn't anything on Earth that Sega didn't think "can we put a Mega Drive in that?"

Those airplanes must've had blast processing

What the heack is a Mega Jet?... "Figure it out!"

I remember playing snes on a plane as well. It’s nuts how the seats on planes have gotten smaller and there’s become less and less space between them over the past few decades. I can’t even imagine a snes fitting inside a airplane chair anymore

It's fitting your mega jet traveled the world

i’ve been watching your channel forever, crazy how there’s still Genesis variants to learn about lol.

The Puyo Puyo anime cover art is the most Adam thing Adam Koralik has ever displayed

The Chinese version of the N64, the iQue, is very similar in idea and how it works. Doesn't use batteries but has the whole system built into what's basically a big controller. The games worked kind of like the Famicom Disk System and Satellaview where you get a little cartridge that you bring to a kiosk to load up games. I think they eventually added a way to do that online on your PC as well. These handheld consoles are so bizarre with their niche use cases it's amazing they've even been made.

Wow! I remember when you made the sega iterations video when you still didn’t have it. Really glad you do now. Hope you’re able to get the rest you don’t have!

It’s very cathartic seeing and hearing a proper microphone setup from you

Really cool to see you finally got the Mega Jet, the story was great but what i found the most interesting was that fact that a portable master system exists, like I don't understand why it was made but it cool nevertheless. Adam keep making great content.

My guess is that MegaJet was pre-owned by a massive Italian nerd who wanted to play his PAL library "on the go" and eventually moved to Canada and got rid of it.

I like the idea of a Mega Jet, and I like the fact that it exists. For actually playing I loved my Game Gear and I wanted a Nomad, but the Nomad was way too expensive for me, and I had no idea where to buy one in that time here in Germany.

Im amazed you didn't already have a video about this thing! Great content as always!

Puyo Puyo. That cover art literally is the same as the version of puyo puyo that came with my FM Towns Marty. Brazil's gaming history is so fascinating and unexplored

That is so cool to find out where your Mega Jet has gone! To explore strange new lands. To seek out new Gamers. & new modifications. To boldly go where no Mega Jet has gone before!

holy shit congrats on getting the mega jet, now that's fuckin rare

I had no idea they had a Karaoke addon for the MegaDrive CD! I also had heard earlier that the MegaJet was never sold comercailly but now we know other wise. Neat story and information, this is what makes your channel is Awesome. Wow, the Venus prototype looks sexy, from a 90s perspective!

The Sega Mega Jet is a cool idea in concept tbh

Mega Jet. Sega Nomad. Sega has the coolest names.

Around the time of the GBA's Japanese launch, an online import game store I used to frequent (therage maybe, if anyone remembers that) somehow had crates of these things and were selling them for like $40. I kept telling myself I'd get one later, later, later...never did.

I’m truly amazed just how many Sega console there truly are! 😎

lmao i was just watching the nomad video last night- congrats on finally getting a mega jet!

i was gonna buy one a few months back but they go for more than im willing to pay for it, great little unit though, such a cool idea. i never knew there was a master system variant

I used to love all my Alpine sound components

🎉 so cool Adam thanks for a great history and chat 😁

I remember hearing about these in I think it was EGM? seemed kinda cool to play genesis stuff on an airline prior to the nomad's existence.

I really like the 2012 KZfaq video aesthetic here

I grew up in that era and i've never heard of none of them. I still have my sega master system 2 to this day though. Sega were weird back then lol!

Awesome stuff buddy :)

I'm a huuuuge sega fan and I'm ashamed I've never heard of this. As usual, nice work Adam.

Not sure the on screen mic is an improvement, its a bit distracting

3:22 Seriously, how many pieces of hardware related to the Genesis that Sega wanted to have? I didn't even know about that karaoke add-on.

Huh…I had no idea about the portable Master System. Not surprising it coming from Brazil. I look forward for the video on it!

You know what i want one of those gaming console tvs from hotel rooms. Last time i stayed at a nice hotel was like 15 years ago but i remember they had a weird third party controller and you could play retro games up to n64 for like 15$ an hour

Great videos

this is the wildest video and piece of sega history

Yeah…. I’d argue that it was for the public good that Sega was taking behind the woodshed and dealt with.

I want one, I have a Nomad. I played the one at OLL, it's uncomfortable but I'd still get one, just not now.

I own a Nomad; it and the Mega Jet are neat novelties, at least.

If I ever found the aircraft one ide make a pcb for the connector to use it with a cable

20 years ago these could be ordered brand new (i.e never used) online from what I assume was a warehouse of unsold stock, for about $100 each. I got one and in that 20 years it's been out of the box only three or four times, and every time it was just to show it off to fellow Sega enthusiasts.

That Sega Venus prototype handheld looks fantastic, I would had bought it even if it was released outside USA. It seems like it still used the six button layout and same buttons from the Genesis 6-button controller. While I like the Nomad as well, I always wonder why they never include a Reset button on it like they do the Mega Jet. Because of the lack of a Reset button, player won't be able to get to the final level in X-Men cause you need to press Reset after breaking the monitor in the Mojo level before it.

It bet you that if somebody got their hands on the Japan Air Lines version it will be just a matter of time before they make video cables and power supplies to use it on a regular tv

If only the Dreamcast had the ability to play DVDs

I assure you there’s more than 2 of us!

Here in the DPRK, it was called the Super KimBoi. Everyone had one. Still do!

I know it's not a rare console variant, but have you ever covered the SEGA channel?

I was wondering why the Sega CD existed.. I had one lol 👍

Greets from switzerland bro

I have the Mega Jet Alpine version with the console still sealed.

Bro i've never heard of a sega mega jet! O_O

I assume you can play Sega CD games on it with the MegaSD and Mega Everdrive Pro, but like the Model 3 and Nomad, doesn’t have the components to handle CD audio. Also, really hoping you do a Rare Varients video on the TurboExpress and the PCE Shuttle. Would add the LT on there too but that goes for $1000 on eBay and I doubt you’ll ever get one ever.

Adam: Japan Airline version can only be played on the airplane it was built for. Future update episode: Adam in his very own Japanese airplane playing one.

ADAM KORALIK HYPE!!!!!!!

Sega's hardware manufacturing is WILD! So many odd little choices for weird markets. Mega Drives for friggin planes??? 🤣

Audio sounds like a podcast. Don't know if that's a good thing.

MEGA JET POWER

I brought an Asian megadrive that had a crystal oscillator soldiered to the video output chip, it was good because the output was PAL no matter if it was 50 hz or 60 hz.

not used to the mic

I love your vids so much Adam seriously I’ve been watching for 13 years now and your like one of if not my favorite KZfaqr❤️ and I don’t want this to sound pushy lol but can you please pleaseeee do a rare variants video on the Panasonic GameCube I’ve been waiting years to see it yearssss and recently I got very ill and I just hope I get to see it I love your channel man thanks👍

I have one! Currently it's only used as a way to play japanese MD games since I only own north american systems. aside from that, its just there to look cool

I love SEGA I’m a SEGA kid, I always wanted a SEGA Nomad. I’m going to wait for the SEGA Nomad made by Hiperken clone copy

Hey Adam, I know this is off topic but are you gonna cover the xbox studio closings? I know you’re not a news channel but I think your thoughts on it would make a good video. Especially about the state of Xbox as a whole.

That’s my grail right there been after one for ages, problem is I like both my kidneys😂. I don’t know why I want one so much I just think it’s so cool. Great vid as always. 👍🏻😎

It was technicality Sega's only successful console

The Sega Jet-esis! Hah! ... ... I'll see myself out.

Adam - I played some version of Sega in a hotel in the early 90s & my parents had to pay (similar to renting a hotel movie). I recall reading there was some test bed markets for business driven Sega Channel or something similar. Know anything on this?

Sound quality is way better with the mic

My bet is that a canadian army member was posted in Germany in 94 and bought it there, maybe from an american that came from posting in japan. When he got back here he couldnt make it work cause of the pal chip and didnt used it and sold it back. Nonetheless its a good story lol

Las unidades de megajet se conseguían con mas facilidad eran de vendedores de indonesia y las unidades venian de un contenedor capturado por piratas

could you only collect all the chaos emeralds and become super sonic if you were flying on Concorde ?

Sega was originally an American company based in Hawaii

Thank you for showing us the way SEGA messed them selfs up back in 1994 with all the shitty ways to keep the genesis around instead of making the SEGA saturn 100 times better and beat sony or nintendo back then !! And yes i know the 32X was a shit show ,

Really cool stuff, but i think this vid couldve done with a bit more effort in research. It didn't take long to confirm that Alpine around and thriving and is the consumer electronics subsidiary of ALPS (which is the actual sound engineering company).

Wonder if it works with a mega cd🤔

The MS SuperCompact came out in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. I have one with the box and down below that box there is the distribution data that has data for official distributor in these lats 2 countries. Mine is the Argentina version with Spanish text in the box and working with PAL60. I´ll be happy to DM you some pics if you want since I also think that the SuperCompact doesn´t have the attention it deserves

Dude you don't know what Alpine is, they make the best speakers for cars competition level.

Where did you get that mic?

The SEGA MEGA JET, an interesting piece of hardware that's for sure. Pointless, yet interesting. - Thanks as usual Adam. But Saskatoon, Saskatchewan ain't THAT rual. If you want somewhere rual might I suggest somewhere like... well anywhere in Saskatchewan other than Regina, Saskatoon, and Moose Jaw.

Sega GEMisis 👍👍

Did not strike me as RARE in Japan...(very) uncommon for sure but not RARE as I saw multiple units in multiple stores during the my two trips to Japan. I failed to buy one on the first trip (2010) purely for being out of luggage space and already at my VG spend limit for the trip (and It was the only complete in box unit I saw on that trip). Second trip, 2017, found two super clean and complete boxed units (and i think 2 loose ones) spread across 3 of the cities I hunted in. Ended up purchasing the nicer of the boxed units the day before my flight home because i circled back to the store where i saw it a week earlier. Paid more than i would have on the first trip but was smart enough to NOT make the same mistake twice. Do i use it? Hello, no! Well, i did ONCE anyway just to make sure it worked but it wasnt bought to be anything other than a Shelf Queen. It has fulfilled its purpose. And since clearly dont shy away from "speculative" info, Im a bit perplexed as to why you wouldnt have brought up the Indonesian Sea Pirates story. While it MIGHT be urban legend, its a quirky twist to the story of the console.

Sega was for sure doing some interesting things back in the day, haha. In a way, it is sort of funny. They were doing what Xbox is doing. Want to play Xbox on your home console? Sure. Want to play Xbox on the go on your phone or tablet? Sure. Want to play Xbox at your computer desk? Sure.

Smegma Mega Nizzle lol

Being a Saturn supporter in America in the mid-late 90s makes me feel for the Japanese mega drive supporters in the late 80s early 90s.

Hey Adam, did you give permission to this KZfaq channel called Mind Growth for using footage from your channel? He did a top 10 worst game consoles list which might I say was awful considering he had Dreamcast at number 4 but I recognized footage of you and your hand and game systems you have presented in the video. Anyway, with how the individual ranked some of the systems of which I know you enjoy such as Wii U as well, I wasn’t sure if the individual reached out for permission with your footage.

PUYU PUYU MENTIONED??????

rgb lights cycling on the mic is kind of distracting

It must have really burned Sega of Japan Executives that the Genesis failed in Japan, but was wildly successful in North America and Europe. Like you said pride matters a lot to Asian countries.

I'm a mega jet. I'm in Ireland in Europe. I can confirm it has worked with every European game iv tried

dont know alpine electronics that logo is iconic in the car audio world really never been in a car ever or been to a best buy or even used google before holy bubble batman makes me wonder about your figure it out intro i am j/k but still lol

DOWN BELOW!

Hello

Do you believe the urban legend that the majority of them in collector hands come from a shipment stolen by Indonesian pirates? Either way we have the Mega Jet to thank for the Nomad so I'm glad.

What in the world is up with that new microphone!!! why can I hear you super clearly now?!?!?! I'm distraught :(

I think the new Mic setup is good, i prefer it to old setup, its nice crisp and clear, no other sounds coming in or echo. Disregard haters who prefer 360era sound.

Yeah - not a fan of the mic. The sound quality is fine and all but it makes it sound like a podcast instead of a personal KZfaq video. The open air, natural dialogue felt nicer. It's jarring hearing the audio quality difference now as a long time watcher. Plus, it looks a little weird for this kind of format.

The microphone makes these videos sound like a monologue podcast...content is still cool but that mic is super distracting

I was neutral on the mic but the quality is nice.

"apparently a bunch of them got into China", yeaaaaah, riiiight, like they are totally not into replicating something that goes for a lot and trying to fool a bunch of idiots.
