Have you heard of the "Amstrad Mega PC"? An Amstrad 'ibm compatible' with a Sega Mega Drive (US: Genesis) built in.

£999 in 1993 is ridiculously expensive.

Creative Labs made a 3DO like that back then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3DO_Blaster
That's about what you expected to pay for a PC back then. My family bought a 486 DEC PC with a 15" monitor and no sound card for around a similar price (granted DEC computers had much higher build quality than amstrads)
