The Xeye, also called the Wondermega is a combined Sega Megadrive and Mega CD which was made by JVC and was released in Septermber 1994. It featured improved sound capabilities, MIDI connections, two microphone inputs and a S-VHS Connector. It was packaged with a CD called Game Garden that had Flicky a (quiz game) and Pyramid (a puzzle game.) The CD-ROM is compatible with CD+G (CD and Graphics) enabled CD Players. The Xeye also supported the "Wonder CD" pheripheral that allows someone to create music and connect to MIDI-enabled devices, as well as a music keyboard called the "Piano Player" that allowed you to create music and learn to use the keyboard. It was later given a redesign with a softer, more curved look. Some of the extra features were removed, and the joypads were remodeled infrared joypads.
