" It remains one of the most successful Japanese publishers."
So, shouldn't this be called "the rise, fall, and rise of Sega?" I'm kidding of course, this was a really great article!

Sega was unfortunately let down by its poor management, and inability for Sega of America, Sega of Europe, and Sega of Japan to agree on any coherent strategy.

Fond memories of the Genesis and the Dreamcast but for me the greatest moments are with AM2 and Sega's arcade hardware.
I simply could not get over Daytona USA when it first arrived in arcades. I could watch the attract mode for ages, if I had no coins that day to shovel in to play it. The contrast between the then aging 16 bit home console hardware and 2D coin ops versus this mind blowing leap will never be experienced again. Happy I saw it.

This was a nostalgic read. The memories of playing Master System, Mega Drive, Saturn, and all the others were wonderful. I learned a lot about info we didn't have access to back then (no internet) or were too young to understand.
