Kickstarter - Service Games: The Rise and Fall of Sega
« on: November 07, 2012, 12:03:10 PM »
Majors turned me on to this - it's a re-write/re-edit and re-packaging of an older Sega history book that covers the company's history in-depth. Probably the most concise history of Sega out there.

It's got about a week and a half left and is stalled out at 55% - the milestones are pretty reasonable. There's lots of relatively cheap milestones that will land you a physical book or an e-copy.

Would hate to see this one not get funded - would also be awesome to see a PC-Engine version of this!

There was never something like a "fall of the PC Engine" :P

:lol: Glorious!

Not sure if the market needs another console, but if it's from Sega and they do it right, bring it on!

There is a perverted Japanese businessman in every Swiss PCE fan.

I'm happy with Sega making money with cross platform releases, at least they're profitable now being a software publisher! How many time do you want to Sega fail? SMS, Sega CD, Game Gear, Pico, Saturn and DC is enough for me.

("Fail" meaning not being #1)

Fully agree. Even though their franchises are being mercilessly raped by third party developers. I just don't think Sega has enough in the tank to do another console.

Sadly Sega's been long gone since the death of the Dreamcast.  Everything started getting outsourced.  I don't know if there is anymore Sega "in house" development anymore.

Yu Suzuki leaving Sega was the last straw - to me he was the last connection to what made Sega unique.

I want another Saturn or Dreamcast - a 'fan favorite' console that sells like shit. That's what I want!
