     Home | Company | Sega



|}, usually styled as SEGA, is a multinational video game software developer and an arcade software and hardware development company headquartered in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan, with various offices around the world. Sega previously developed and manufactured its own brand of home video game consoles from 1983 to 2001, but a restructure was announced on January 31, 2001 that ceased continued production of its existing home console, effectively exiting the company from the home console business. While arcade development would continue unchanged, the restructure shifted the focus of the company's home video game software development to consoles developed by various third-party manufacturers. They are responsible for famous video game franchises such as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Sega's head offices, as well as the main office of its domestic division, Sega Corporation (Japan), are located in Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. Sega's European division, Sega Europe Ltd., is headquartered in the Brentford area of London in the United Kingdom. Sega's North American division, Sega of America Inc., is headquartered in San Francisco; having moved there from Redwood City, California in 1999. Sega Australia is headquartered in Sydney, and Sega Publishing Korea is headquartered in Jongno, Seoul, Korea. The company also has smaller offices in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy.

Classic Game Room HD reviews DAYTONA USA for the Sega Saturn video game console. DAYTONAAAAAAAAAA, YEAH! This Sega produced arcade driving racing game was released originally in 1994 as a coin-op machine and saw its debut on the Sega Saturn as a launch title in 1995. It is an arcade racing game, not a simulation game like Gran Turismo 5 or Ferrari Challenge. Drive one of one stock car looking cars around several different tracks. Daytona USA may not have much in the way of heavy hitting graphics but it does have awesome, fun gameplay and terrific replay value. The music is insane and reminds CGRHD or BWP (Bitches with Problems) the all girl rap act from the late 80's. Rock out to the music and drive like a maniac in Daytona USA from Sega! This Daytona USA review has gameplay footage from the game showing the racing driving and pop-in with the graphics. Sega later released an enhanced version of Daytona on the Saturn. Classic Game Room HD is your source for Sega Saturn reviews and CGRHD is a Sega Saturn reviewer reviewing Sega Saturn games like Daytona USA, Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon reviews (soon... well, someday.)

Classic Game Room HD reviews HANG ON for the Sega Master System! From Yu Suzuki, creator of Out Run and Shenmue (and many other excellent Sega arcade games) comes this amazing motorcycle racing game where you drive through numerous environments against other bikers in a race to the finish! This arcade racer makes a fantastic appearance on one of the early pack-in games for the Sega Master System. I have 2 versions of Hang On, one with Safari Hunt and one with Astro Warrior! Hang on is brought over the master system with clear, smooth and excellent gameplay and visuals. If you like auto racing games like OutRun, Forza and Gran Turismo 5 then you should give Hang On a spin. It is dirt cheap today and tons of fun, you race to checkpoints and earn points just like the old school games at the arcades. CGRHD brings you Hang On gameplay and footage in this Sega review of their awesome and popular motorcycle race game. CGR reviews Sega Master System games because CGR is a Sega Master System reviewer reviewing arcade classics like HANG ON by Yu Suzuki for the SMS.

A music video using the theme song "His World" from the new Xbox 360 / PlayStation3 PS3 Sonic title. EDIT: For everyone asking how I got the song, it was originally on the official Japanese website, so I ripped it off the site. However, due to some controversy ( Of pretty much a LOT of people not liking it, and the fatc that it wasn't even the final version and was just a test recording ), they removed it. But NOW, Zebrahead ( One of the two singers ) may not even be the final artist at all. Crush 40, the artists who did every other theme song ( Open Your Heart, Live And Learn, All Of Me, etc ), is going to submit their own version of the song to Sega. Sega will then choose which version they find the most appropriate and make it the game's theme song.

The viewer darkjim123 left a summary of this video in the comments below, and I'll use it in the description: "0:24 Tails uses KAWAII FACE! Mario counters with Failing immature conversation end! Tails became speechless! ". People, go easy here, this is nothing personal. You can express your personal opinions but for chrissake DON'T act like if you were totally right about it. People have different opinions than yours. Respect over other people's fanaticism is a gift. I kinda know it's not the world's greatest video, and I know I suck at animation, so if you're gonna say something like that, I'm that humble, I don't like to brag or stuff and I know I'm not a professional. But if you enjoyed this movie, if you gave a smile for it, I thank you so very much! Subscribe or be friends to me cause I'm thinking about doin another animated conversation, even knowing it's freakin hard cause I don't know to make digital inking so there's that pencil-inking-erasing-scanning stuff before everything so yeah XD Thanks a lot. Mario and Tails were hand-drawn and colored digitally. I made it in Windows Movie Maker as you can see, using sounds from Super Mario All Stars (the background chat) and from Billy Madison movie (the talk). Conversação em Português: -Mortal Kombat pra Sega Genesis é o melhor video game de todos os tempos. -Eu discordo. à um jogo muito bom, mas acho que Donkey Kong é o melhor jogo de todos os tempos. -Donkey Kong é um porre! -Quer saber, VOCà à UM PORRE. *silêncio <b>...</b>
