}}The '''SG-1000''', also known as '''Sega Game 1000''', was an 8-bit console released by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega Sega] in 1983. This system marked Sega's first entry into the home video game hardware business. The SG-1000 didn't see much success in its home country, mostly due to competition from the technically superior [[Famicom]]; it did however enjoy a brief period of popularity in Taiwan, prior to the latter market being inundiated by unlicensed Family Computer clones.
Sega's use of off-the-shelf components in developing the console, which were was also shared with the [[ColecoVision]], led to at least one unauthorised unauthorized clone of the SG-1000, manufactured and sold by Taiwan-based Bit Corporation as the Dina 2-in-1. Indeed, the Dina had support for SG-1000 games and ColecoVision titles to a certain extent.
The '''SC-3000''' (Sega Computer 3000) was its home computer counterpart and has a built-in keyboard.
