The Sega Mega Jet was initially designed for Japan Airlines flights in 1993, allowing people to play Mega Drive games on a plane. Unlike typical handhelds, it lacked a built-in screen and required connection to a screen, making it a hybrid between portable and home consoles.

In 1993, Sega introduced the Activator, an octagonal motion-sensing controller for the Genesis. It was one of the first attempts at full-body gaming. It used infrared beams to detect player movements, translating actions like punches and kicks into in-game commands. #Sega

Fun fact! There were 2 mascots before Alex!
Professor Games Hasake and Professor Asobin!
They were prevalent in Game manuals in the SG-1000 (Asobin the Rabbit) and the Master System (Games Hasake, but for a very very short time)
Asobin made cameos in Sonic Mania (JP version) and Sega Hard Girls.

Alex Kidd was Sega’s mascot before Sonic took the spotlight. His debut was in ‘Alex Kidd in Miracle World’ (1986). It was so popular that it was built into later versions of the Sega Master System, allowing players to enjoy the game without a cart.
