What is Sega?
1.
PEOPLE! These AWFUL and INACCURATE definitions for Sega HAVE TO STOP! Sega has NEVER made weapons for the military or "photo boots" of any kind.
Sega was founded by an american named David Rosen who saw how popular pinball machines were among soldiers on US military bases. He started a company called Service Games to import these pinball machines to US bases in japan. Eventually he bought out a Jutebox facotry and used it to start making arcade machines. SEGA was printed on the side of the machines because it was short for "SErvice GAmes" and Rosen liked it enough to make it the new name for the company. Eventually they started to release home console systems in japan and fianlly released the SEga Master System(SMS) worldwide(IT WAS OT THEIR FIRST SYSTEM!). Eventually the videogame market crashed and the US assets of Sega had to be sold off but in Japan Sega survived by being bought out by Japanese investors. After that Sega went on the Release the Genesis(also know as Mega Drive in places where Sega was actually popular). The Genesis was a hit because most people weren't willing to wait two more year for the SNES to be released. Sega then screwed up with every hardware item they released after that such as the Game Gear, Nomad, 32X, Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast.
Now Sega is sucking the dicks of every other company for money to pay off their seven years of debt.
P.S. Sega has always had poor marketing skills as well.

Greatest console/game/arcade developer/publisher in history, Never has, and never will, any company achieve such massive greatness and acclaim in so many ventures and on so many formats.
Often said to be the victim of its own mistakes, which is only half-true. After SEGA went third-party, it turned its profits around and became a massively successful company on the verge of extending that success and profit margin to its home development.
In truth the victim of a back-stabbing, immoran parent company, CSK; who behind closed doors sold out SEGA to the most hostile (and Yakuza-linked) parasite ever - Sammy corporation, headed by Satan's spawn, Hajime Satome. In october 2004, SEGA was dissolved anmd its assets made part of SSL, a new holding company which in truth is Sammy whoring SEGA's name on its subpar garbage in order to make it sell. Darkwatch and Spy Fiction are two examples of this trash which drags down SEGA's name. The more outspoken and independent developers have already left SEGA after Sammy, saying that SEGA as they loved it no longer existed; great minds such As Rikiya Nakagwa, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, and others. Sonikku-Team's Yuji Naka has always been resentful of Sammy - as has SEGA"s entire former executive board, which rejected numerous overtures from the yakuza-linked pachinko mafia company before - and has stuck with 'SEGA' as it is now out of his extreme loyalty and devotion, but sooner or later he and the lieks of Yu Suzuki will leave. They will only be able to take their beloved franchises being raped and molested - Sonic into pachinko, Shenmue into online nonsense - so much.
SEGA is also the victim of general bias and hate from both the gaming 'media' and 'gamers' in general; both of whom are indoctrinated to believe Nintendo is the be-all and end-all of gaming creativity when in truth Mityamotyo'd creative output is dwarfed by ay one SEGA development stidio and slaughtered by Yu Suzuki alone. When companies such as RARE and UbiSoft are sold or sell-out, these typical sheep are up in arms. When SEGA was literally raped, butchered and murdered slowly by Sammy, nary a word from the press or the 'gaming' community, which is proof positive of the incapability of the majority of humans to care for the right cause or see the suffering of the innocent, as well as blight over and ignore the evil of the powerful. SEGA's death is a micricosm of the situation in Occupied Palestine, Tibet, Aceh, et al. SEGA's death is proof that humanity is pathetic.
SEGA will live forever in the hearts of true gamers but is never easy to forget the violent rape and death of those you love. May SEGA be avenged and Sammy's yoke burned.
Pioneer in arcade techonology and its leader to this day and in home console development and game content; ie Samba de Amigo, Virtua Fighter, Dreamcast.

BRIEF HISTORY
Sega is a video game company and now a software manufacturer for PC,arcade,and console systems.Sega was founded in 1940,they were called Standard Games and later renamed Service Games.They started making video game arcades and continue to grow in popularity.Sega was gaining popularity because of games like Outrun.In the early 1980's the video game market crashed.In the mid-80's the video game market started to pick up again.Soon they released the Sega Master System and was powerful as the NES,but not as popular due to Nintendo's marketing.
SUCCESS WITH THE GENESIS
In 1989,Sega introduced the Sega Genesis(Mega Drive) and used anti-Nintendo ads,with the slogan "Sega does what Nintendon't."At the time the Genesis had more powerful technology(16 bit) that was better compared to NES hardware(8 bit).Yu Suzuki has a lot to do with the high success with his great ideas of games like Super Hang On,Virtua Fighter,Virtua Cop,and OutRun.It started a "console war" within the video game industry,Nintendo released the Super Nintendo as a comeback.Sega had Sonic The Hedgehog and Nintendo had Mario,Sonic had attitude and was more hip and was cooler than Mario.Sega had success with the Genesis and later released the Sega CD,which had some success,but most of the games were ports of Genesis games.In 1994,Sega released the Sega 32x it "upgrades" the graphics of the Genesis,it sold well but it had a lack of creative games and people were excited about the Sega Saturn at the time.In a year it was in the bargain bar in a a lot of stores.
SEGA SATURN
The Sega Saturn was released in 1995 and was a success due to the popularity of Virtua Fighter at the arcades.However the American market didn't like the Saturn,so it got pulled early in 1998.Most people wanted Playstation which had Tomb Raider & Crash Banditkoot and Nintendo 64 which had the typical Mario games.The Sega Saturn sold well in Japan and had lots of shmups and fighters that were only released in Japan.Modded Saturns can play burned games by putting in a mod chip.The Saturn had a cart slot for a memory expansion or a RAM expansion cartridge which played games like X-Men vs. Street Fighter,The King of Fighters '96,and Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter.Most of the 2D fighters on the Saturn could play as well as the arcades unlike the Playstation due to the inferior hardware that makes the games suffer to slowdown and choppy animations.The Saturn was best at 2D games and not very good with 3D games.After a long run the last Saturn game was released in Japan in 1999.
In 1997,Sega released Gameworks,a family fun entertainment center.Gameworks has arcades,food,and bar upstairs in most places.
DREAMCAST
In 1999,Sega releases the Sega Dreamcast and blows away the current game systems which had 32 bit graphics and the DC had 132 bit which was way ahead for its time.The DC had a 56k modem for internet play and had some creative games like Chu Chu Rocket,Samba De Amigo,and Jet Grind Radio.The DC improves games that look inferior on other systems like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater,Street Fighter Alpha 3,and Soul Caliber which looked better than the arcade! As soon as the Playstation 2 came out the DC didn't sale as good due to the dvd player that was in the PS2.They discontinued the DC in march of 2001 due to the lack of sales.However in Japan the system was still very popular and sold until 2006.Their are many homebrew game companies that made games for the DC and as of 2009 they are still supported.The DC can play burned games without a modchip which is great if you can't afford the rare titles.
SOFTWARE MANUFACTURER
In 2002,Sega started to make games for other consoles like XBox,PS2 and Gamecube.Select DC games were on other consoles like Jet Grind Radio,Crazy Taxi,and Sonic Adventure.Sega also made Virtua Fighter 4,The House of the Dead 3,and Sonic Heroes.That even still make arcade games like The House of the Dead 4,Initial D,and Rambo.They also make games for the consoles Xbox 360,PS2,PS3,PSP and Wii like Condemned:Criminal Origins,Samba De Amigo and Ghost Squad.
