	Games - Sega Neptune

Sega Neptune was a two-in-one Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis and Sega 32X console which Sega planned to release in 1994 or 1995.

Sega had admitted how expensive and problematic the 32X was, so they decided to make a combined version of the Mega Drive/Genesis and 32X, which they felt was a better idea. However, by the time a prototype came out, the Sega Saturn was ready for release. Sega felt that consumers would not be interested in the Sega Neptune, so the project was scrapped.

The proposed retail price for the unit was US$400.

Some prototypes have been released, but are rare.

Electronic Gaming Monthly used the Sega Neptune as an April Fool's Joke in it's April 2001 issue. It included a small article in the issue where they announced that Sega had found a warehouse full off old Sega Neptunes and was giving them away on a website. If you visited the website they listed, however, you were directed to a page that said something along the lines of "You fell for the EGM April Fool's Joke!" and had a counter showing how many fell for the joke.
