Produktbeschreibung
Sega NetLink (also known as SegaNet in Japan) was an attachment for the Sega Saturn game console to provide Saturn users with internet access, a web browser, and access to email through their console. NetLink consisted of a 28.8 kbit/s modem that fits into the Sega Saturn cartridge port, although there was a cheaper version that only included the NetLink software. The unit sold for USD$199, or USD$400 bundled with a Sega Saturn.While the NetLink was not the first accessory to allowed console gamers in America to play games online, it was the first to allow players to use their own Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect. While Sega recommended that players use (Concentric), NetLink enabled players to choose any ISP that was within its technical specifications. The device was capable of connecting at a 28.8 kilobit/s connection in America and 14.4 kbit/s in Japan. The success of the NetLink was limited by factors such as high cost, the small number of Saturn owners compared to the competition, and lack of games that took advantage of NetLink capabilities.
