Released November 1993 (en.wikipedia, citing EGM #51 Oct 1993); first shown at the January 1993 CES with Streets of Rage 2. Commercial and critical failure (IGN ranked it third-worst game controller ever). The Sega Genesis Nomad article lists the 'Sega Activator' as one of the peripherals the Nomad remains compatible with. Referred to in different places as 'Sega Activator' and 'Genesis Activator'; treated as one product. No JP or EU release found. Model code not found (an MK-1690 code is widely quoted by collectors but unverified this session).
