SG ProgramPad

Manufacturer: STD Manufacturing (QJ, InterAct)

Type: Control pad

Release	Date	RRP	Code
US	1993-11^[1]	$39.9539.95^[1]	SV-437
EU	1993		SV-437
UK	1993	£39.9939.99	SV-437

The SG ProgramPad is a third-party control pads for the Sega Mega Drive, created by STD Manufacturing division (under the QJ and InterAct brands). It is a more advanced alternative to the SG ProPad,.

The SG ProgramPad, as the name suggests, has a built-in LCD display and the ability to "program" button combinations. This is especially useful in fighting games (for example in Street Fighter II: Special Champion Edition, will make Ryu perform his trademark Hadouken move, and by mapping this sequence to a button, this gives the player an advantage over the competition).

SG ProgramPad is an awkwardly designed controller, as presumably STD wished to recycle designs for their "SN ProgramPad" range for the Super Nintendo (a similar story occurred with the SG ProPad).

-The '''SG ProgramPad''' series, known as the '''Imagineer ProPad MD''' (イマジニアプロパドMD) in Japan, is a set of third-party control pads for the [[Sega Mega Drive]], manufactured by [[Recoton]]'s STD Manufacturing division (later under the [[QJ]] and [[InterAct]] brands). It is a more advanced alternative to the [[SG ProPad]], and came in two forms - the three button SG ProgramPad and a six button variant known as the '''SG ProgramPad 2''' in Europe and '''SG ProgramPad 6''' in North America.

-The original SG ProgramPad is a effectively a three button controller (though obviously contains other buttons for which to map control combinations to). The ProgramPad 2/6 is largely the same, but has an extra button and 66 common moves already built into the ontroller, with a further six slots available for custom combinations.
