The SC-3000 (Sega Computer 3000) is the first computer to be designed and manufactured by Sega.

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.

Unlike later Sega systems, 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 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.
