In 1988, Sega launched the first truly 16-bit game console. Sega beat Nintendo to the 16-bit market with the Megadrive and the machine established itself as being the cool machine to own. This ergonomic 3 button control pad which came with the console is hard-wired to activate the time and alarm set up functions for an oversized but slick Panasonic Radio clock.
