RIP Hideki Sato. Former Sega President (2001-2003) and father of Sega's consoles, including my favourite one, the Mega Drive, has passed at the age of 75.

The legacy he leaves behind is immense and cherished. 💜

Beep21 has reported that Hideki Sato, the father of Sega hardware, passed away yesterday at age 71. We planned to publish this article later, but it seems more fitting now to honor Sato's commitment to Sega's quality and legacy.

The Bagman Trailer #1 YouTube video by BadTasty

We now have a trailer!

The Bagman is a 16-bit #pixelart retro #horror game. A stealth point and click. Imagine if Day of the Tentacle met Alien Isolation, but with an 80s/90s slasher vibe and gratuitous gore.

Sega has the answer - the Mega Anser!

Both Nintendo and Sega envisioned their consoles morphing into home computer hybrids with various degrees of online network capabilities.

Mega Anser was one of those bits of online connectivity via Mega Drive, sold specifically for online banking in 1990.

A former Sega employee confirms that the idea of adapting Virtua Racing for the Mega Drive was born when the company heard about Starfox, with the aim of countering the latter - although the two titles were released 13 months apart.
