Description

The SG-1000 II is an updated model of the SG-1000 video game console released by Sega in 1984. It is internally identical to the original SG-1000, but sports a new outer design. In contrast to the original SG-1000, which featured a hardwired joystick controller with an optional extra controller port, the SG-1000 II features two detachable joypad controllers.

It was succeeded by the Sega Mark III, which significantly upgraded the hardware (including the VDP and RAM) and changed the controller to use a more intuitive D-pad design similar to the Famicom.
