## Sega Digitizer System
The Sega Digitizer System was a development kit specifically for creating sprites and background tiles officially inside SEGA. It is unclear if they ever sold the system to third party developers. It required a **NEC PC-98** for development which was the ideal choice for many game developers in japan.

It had a rudimentary touch screen with a pen allowing artists to "draw" pixels directly on the screen.

This was not exclusive to Mega Drive development, it was also used in early sega arcade games, system 1 and system 16 (1986).
