In the early 90's Sega created another electronic marvel from their Mega Drive technology. The WonderMega, with the WonderMega II being known as the X-Eye in America. The WonderMega series sported a few differences however, being originally made by Sega (Later versions were made by Victor, the name of JVC in Japan).
The WonderMega I was designed to fit in with the hip underground console stylings Sega were becoming known for, fitting itself nicely in to a musical theme. The whole look of the console appears designed around a DJ deck system, and it was in fact designed to fit into a living room as a Hi-Fi unit. It's not something anyone would be embarassed to have shown off, not even now! So in simple terms it is a Mega Drive and Mega CD combination console, but there's more to this than first meets the eye. There are thin bright green lights that shine around the CD drive door when the console is active, with the Power and Recieving lights being the same bright green and bright red respectively. This really sets the console off beautifully in the dark, and gives it a high-tech look. By the CD drive door are four buttons, Game adds a semi-3D sound, Ex-Bass adds a strong bass sound, Kareoke takes away the vocal track (This isn't always effective) and adds an echo effect to any vocal inputs and the Off button turns off the effects options. On the front face of the console is a big circular sliding door which hides (thankfully, cos they're very ugly) the console's headphone jack, two microphone inputs and the Effects control knob, meaning that if you aren't doing Kareoke you can hide the ugly audio knobs and the machine looks much sleeker. It also had a Midi port for connection with devices such as keyboards etc. Unfortunately this didn't sell too well either, because it's high build quality came at a high price. It's also harder to track down Sega Wondermega's and more easy to find Victor Wondermega's instead. |
