I miss Sega...

[exit]

When I first started playing Yakuza, it felt like I was playing a game on the Dreamcast. So the old Sega is still there, it's just that they're too busy whoring out Sonic, instead of bringing us quality games.

My fathers advice was stay away from Sega. He was quite the fanboy when it came to Nintendo. needless to say, I never head the Genny in its heyday, as my dad wanted the SNES. I ended up getting a Genesis several years later, and I have never looked back. I still love my SNES, although the Genesis holds its proud position right next to it. I guess my dad just never had the good games for it. Either that or he has no idea what makes games fun in the first place

P.S. Comix Zone!

to this day, the only video game my dad has ever really enjoyed was Sonic 2.

If you like sega, you should talk to this guy. He collects them:

When I find some Sega, i'll know who to fire a PM to!

I too miss sega! They were the only company that cared as much about their software as their hard ware. Them and nintendo were always competing over who had the best games, but now people only care about graphics, HD, and online cababilitie's*sigh* DAMN YOU XBOX LOVING BASTARDS! DAMN YOU ALLLL!!!!!

Console wars have always been about graphics. Remember the whole "Genesis does what Nintendon't" campaign? Then the SNES was touted as having better graphics/sound than the Genesis, ad nauseam.

I miss the old Sega..I was a Nintendo Fan in the 90's

There is an overwhelming "Sega feel" here, something that does not seem to have been faithfully reproduced with their games on other consoles. Maybe it's just me.

It appears as though Sega had their own audience, aside from the typical gamers that would play Mortal Kombat. It is almost as if they had shed new light on the gaming industry, and nobody had their eyes open.

One of my largest collections would have to be my Genesis. I play that system more than I do anything else, and not just Sonic. Sega CD was the most distinct system I had ever played, and nothing compares to it. Sonic CD has to be one of the most addicting side-scrollers I have, and I could never put it down when I picked it up.

Don't even get me started on the Saturn... (we'd be here for days on one post.)

When I played an Xbox360 for the first time (a few weeks ago, actually), I noticed that it felt a lot like I was playing a Sega console. At least, Dead Rising did, even though it's a Capcom game.

The reason why it felt like you were playing a sega console is... Well... Look at the Dreamcast controller, and compare it to the gen 1 XBOX controller (and of course they kept the layout for the 360.) I curse Microsoft, yet I couldn't blame them. The Dreamcast had one of the coolest controller layouts, and in my opinion would be one of the best candidates for a knock-off controller.

Microsoft... Oy...

yes its true that graphics are important, but i was more talking about howtheres alot of people that buy a system just because of graphics and make fun of other people who play old school games . and i do like some games on xbox im jus not a big shooter fan

Oh, come now. It might have had some games you enjoyed, but it had a lot of the same awful multimedia crap that came out on other systems too.

Yeah, Sega messed up a few times over the years but they are forgiven (or should be) because the good they did outweighs the bad.

I suppose someone with a lot more knowledge on the situation would need to fill me in on this. I know Sega dropped their sports franchises but why?

[Insaneclown]

Sega will ALWAYS be number 1 in my view and blood. Best team EvEr..."Team SEGA". I'm hooked on the Master system, and Genesis the most. These two systems came in my life first. SEGA For Life!!!

[Barbarianoutkast85]

I miss Sega making consoles. At least they are still making new titles for other system's. I mean I still think it's weird to be playing a Sonic title on the PS2, Gamecube or Xbox. But I would be even more sad if they wouldnt be making titles for all consoles.

I think it had to do with something about EA acquiring exclusive rights to make games with the sports teams.

I was mainly playing Nintendo games in the late 90's with the SNES. I didn't really play many games after getting an N64 as there weren't many that I liked on that system. Then I got a Dreamcast in 2001 and was back into gaming, it was the perfect system for me because I liked fighting/racing/arcade games, which were abundant on the DC. I was finished collecting DC games and got an Xbox for cheap, and it kind of feels like a Dreamcast 2 with sequels of DC titles and the emphasis on action/arcade games.

First controllers, then the world!

I greatly miss SEGA as a console company.

[cyberfluxor]

I don't miss Sega, I still have many of their games to buy and play on the classic scene. I also wouldn't mind checking out that HotD 4 arcade!
