Sega Mouse & Mega Mouse

   The Sega Mouse was released in 1993 in order to provide support for games that are easier to play with this type of controller, like point-and-click adventure games.
   It was released in Japan and Europe using an identical shape model, only differing by the colors of the buttons (blue in the JP version and red in the EU's). This model has two buttons and a clickable trackball (which can be used with the mouse flipped down).
 
   The US version looks totally different, has a third action button (replacing the click function of the trackball in the JP/EU model), a start button and dropped the clickable trackball; it looks more like a conventional PC mouse than the other models.

   A list of compatible games is presented at the bottom of this page.
