The '''Sega Pico''' (Japanese: '''キッズコンピューター・ピコ''' ''Kids' Computer Pico'') is an {{wp|edutainment}} console developed by {{wp|Sega}}. | The '''Sega Pico''' (Japanese: '''キッズコンピューター・ピコ''' ''Kids' Computer Pico'') is an {{wp|edutainment}} console developed by [[Sega]]. In 1998, manufacturing of the Pico was handed over to {{wp|Sega Toys}}, due to Sega focusing on the {{wp|Dreamcast}}. | ||
The Pico used book-shaped cartridges known as Storyware. Each time a player turns the page of the cartridge, the screen changes to replicate the image in the book. The games are controlled by buttons and a stylus. The back page of each book features a drawing mode, where the player can insert stamps of characters from within the book. | |||
In 2005, in Japan only it was succeeded by the [[Advanced Pico Beena]]. According to Sega Toys, the Beena is intended to be the upper-end model in the Pico series. | |||
