It has been quite a journey, but in spite of all the obstacles the ultimate Sega history book has finally started shipping today on Friday December 20th 2013. Based on the work of Sam Pettus with David Munoz, Ivan Borroso and Kevin Williams. This history book is truly a labor of love, from Sega fans for Sega fans Service Games: Rise and Fall of Sega – Enhanced Edition was made possible via Kickstarter. Modestly raising 7090$ (590$ over their goal of 6500$) with most of the backers receiving a physical copy of the book.
Starting with its humble beginnings in the 1950′s and ending with its swan-song, the Dreamcast, in the early 2000′s, this is the complete history of Sega as a console maker. Before home computers and video game consoles, before the internet and social networking, and before motion controls and smartphones, there was Sega. Destined to fade into obscurity over time, Sega would help revolutionize and change video games, computers and how we interact with them, and the internet as we know it. Riding the cutting edge of technology at every step, only to rise too close to the sun and plummet, Sega would eventually change the face of entertainment, but it’s the story of how it got there that’s all the fun. So take a ride, experience history, and enjoy learning about one of the greatest and most influential companies of all time. Complete with system specifications, feature and marketing descriptions, unusual factoids, almost 300 images, and now enhanced Europe specific details, exclusive interviews, and more make this the definitive history of Sega available. Read and learn about the company that holds a special place in every gamer’s heart.
