SEGA has lost it's shine over the years, but IMO they are the greatest game company of all time. Their arcade output was STELLAR, their game dev teams were the most elite all through the mid 00's.
Seriously, look at their list of output. Just banger after banger. Not to mention their arcade hardware was top notch and was widely adopted.
So, 2 people submitted the same thing earlier today and got ignored, but this time it makes the front page? And this seems to be happening often here. Not the most encouraging system to submit something...
The Sega Genesis was the last console with a "game console", "non-domestic-PC", and "non-toy" auras, for me.
At a non-internet time, game consoles were like magnets for socialization and for making friends through shared experiences.
I never knew who David Rosen was.
Unfortunately only today I know who he was.
And he was the kind of person that did significant work that influenced and nourished the imagination and experiences of many young people and adults.
Thanks a lot for Sega, for the arcades, for the Master System, for Akai Koudan Zillion and for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Mr. David Rosen.
Rest in peace.
Does anyone know Rosen's role in Sega Saturn? I owned one and loved it so much. It was ahead of its time, given few mastered its design intricacies while those who did are legendary.
