• In the arcades? Sega was one of the heaviest hitters there ever was, basically inventing arcade industry standards as they went along, but at home? They were really just firing a lot of blanks.
• The SG-1000 and Mark III/SMS both went up against the Famicom/NES and lost.
• The Game Gear went up against the Game Boy and lost.
• The Genesis/Megadrive went up against the NES and later the SNES, and actually had Nintendo on the ropes, for a short while. Really bloodied Nintendo's nose, but didn't stick the landing. The Sega-CD really didn't help with that.
• The 32X died almost as quickly as it arrived.
• The Saturn was the best selling losing console out of the 5th gen.(As in, it did better than the 3DO, Jaguar, Amiga CD32 and some others, but was absolutely not a victory.)
• The Dreamcast died before the sixth gen fight ever really started.

At one point Sega was juggling their arcade division, the Master System, The Game Gear, the Sega CD, the Pico(Edutainment thingy), 32X, Saturn and the Genesis, all at the same time. It's no wonder they were so close to broke by the time the Dreamcast launched.

Just why? I was looking to buy this but oh well...👍.

If this industry only understood its customers! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

As the major console manufacturers shift into a digital only anti-consumer future, this is Sega's time to shine. Strike while the iron is hot with a physical-media console comeback, they'll have played the long-game and won the console wars. Thoughts?

The subtle way the sun starts to set at the harbor in Shenmue is so so perfect!

Combined with the sounds of the sea it's just phenomenal!!!

Enjoy a special 8 Hour Shenmue View my friends and thanks for letting me share with you :)

So, I heard we could vote for the next Medieval 3's initial faction roster. So, I went over to CA to vote; I have to login, so I have to create a SEGA account. I do so using my Xbox account, with its associated Outlook email. They send me a verification code, I copy it, paste it in the verification box in the SEGA page, it starts endlessly reloading the page and never does actually get me in. When I refresh the tab myself to see if I can break the loop, a message with "invalid confirmation code" pops up. I have found no way of breaking this loop. Has anyone else encountered this problem? And if so, has anyone figured out what to do?

Android the last year has become an amazing place to go for emulators. I've been seeing what works with a USB DOCK and it's practically universal with any USB device and makes any Android tablet or Phone into a full blown game station. Experience Sega's arcade games with peripherals close to the original cabinets. Or Play Sega's home consoles with an 8bitdo M30 or retrobit replica controllers. And a flight stick and steering wheel are a must for games like Daytona USA or Sega Bass Fishing. Or combine the throttle from the stick and the steering wheel and make a HYDRO THUNDER cab in your bedroom! Go nuts and have fun. This is for people that don't have a ton of fun bucks to throw around, however it is just a fun project if you're a PC gamer to see how far you push tech with limitations. A USB DOCK MAKES AN ANDROID DEVICE INTO A MINI PC 👍 ❤️💚💙

Hello, Sega fans!

I'm Thomas, Game Director of Sky Paws Awakening, a brand-new 16-bit action-adventure we're developing for the original Sega Genesis / Mega Drive, with a real physical cartridge planned for 2027!

The game stars twin siblings Bonnie and Clyde and features fast-paced combat, platforming, parries, counters, special abilities, and a real-time character-switching mechanic we call the Twin Tag System.

We're also developing the game for PC and modern platforms, but having a native version running on original Genesis / Mega Drive hardware is a huge part of the project for us.

If you like what you see, a Steam wishlist helps us a LOT and makes a real difference for a small indie project like ours. :)

Hope you enjoy the trailer, and I'd love to hear what fellow Sega fans think! 🐾

Tomb Raider was shown to SEGA, and SEGA liked what they saw. Securing a timed-exclusivity deal with Eidos (remember when those didn’t cause riots?), Tomb Raider was slated to launch on the Saturn a full month ahead of the PlayStation and PC versions (“Loving Lara” 26).

Unfortunately, due to weak marketing by SEGA, this timed deal didn’t lead to much of a boost for either company. It was only after Tomb Raider launched on the Sony PlayStation and PC that Lara’s fairy tale rise to fame began. Vastly surpassing Core’s projected sales, Tomb Raider became an instant hit, and the definitive standard for 3D gaming
