With David Rosen's death, bad information about Sega as a company is starting to re-emerge across the internet.
I will try to give a very condensed version of the Sega corporate shenanigans here as to clear some of the air. 🧵

I'd go further, Chloe Annett isn't in any of the episodes Channel 4 are showing. Not sure what ensemble picture this is based on, but the editorial decisions are strange.

Recently, as part of a deep dive of Atari and Tengen internal servers, a recoverable ROM of a hitherto rumoured Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game was released, and provoked a lot of interest. To give on…

The best Sega game ever is only two bucks right now.
Is Outrun actually the best game? Probably not. But it's THE game that comes to mind when I think of Sega and their chokehold on bright, optimistic colors. This is the video game beach I think of, every time

Tomorrow I begin my new live radio show. Still playing indie and being silly but throwing in anything else that catches my listening ear too. Plus lots of opportunities for you to try and put me off and generally behave in a chaotic fashion. You know... fun. 8pm, Monday on noiseboxradio.com
