It was first released in July of 1983 in Japan, and serves as the home computer equivalent of the SG-1000 cartridge-based video game console. The SC-3000 is an 8-bit home computer almost identical in nature to the SG-1000, but with a built-in keyboard and support for more hardware expansions.
The SC-3000 was released in various countries including Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Italy and Finland, as an entry-level machine for the home. The SC-3000 was distributed in France under the Yeno brand, achieving mild success in 1983/1984.
The SC-3000 was Sega's first and most popular home computer to be released to the general public. Other endeavours such as the rare [[Sega AI]] Computer saw only a small fraction of the success the SC-3000 received, and were built with very different aims. The company would also partner with Amstrad for the Amstrad [[Mega PC]] in later years.
