You will be surprised, but almost all popular consoles of the nineties could be equipped with mice. Most often this was an additional option, and the list of supported games was not very large. I collected as much information as possible on the topic on the Internet and tried to summarize everything briefly.
Sega Mega Drive
The Sega Mega Mouse is compatible with only 13 games (not even Dune 2 among them), which is quite a few. It is noteworthy that there were two versions of the mouse: for the Japanese and for the American markets.

Super Nintendo
The SNES mouse was designed specifically for the game Mario Paint and was sold with it. Soon after the release, other games with mouse control support appeared. Among them: Sid Meier’s Civilization, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Jurassic Park, Lemmings 2: The Tribes, Populous II, Might and Magic III and others. Total 63 games.
Nintendo’s design can hardly https://luckypencecasino.co.uk/ be called cool, but it won’t be confused with anything else
Sega Saturn
Once again, Sega has two types of mice: Netlink Mouse for America and Shuttle Mouse for Japan. The list of games with mouse support has expanded to 100 pieces! The presence of a mouse was also justified by the primitive online capabilities of Saturn.

Sega Dreamcast
Sega’s latest console could come with a keyboard and mouse to make it easier to use the built-in browser. With a keyboard-mouse on the Dreamcast you could play really cool 3D shooters: Quake III Arena, Unreal Tournament, Soldier of Fortune and even Half-Life!
Finally human design
Panasonic 3DO
The console from Panasonic did not gain much popularity, but received two mice: Panasonic 3DO Mouse FZ-JM1 and Logitech 3DO Mouse. You could poke the mouse in the cult quest Myst and in 14 other games.
I still don’t understand how the FZ-JM1 and Logitech differ, so there will be one photo for two.
Sony PlayStation
PlayStation Mouse was released simultaneously with the console itself, at the end of 1994. Connected directly to the gamepad socket (without any adapters or adapters). The mouse was used primarily for playing shooting games and strategy games, which is predictable. Received support for 62 games.
