Mio padre lo ha comprato alla metro è stato il mio primo computer poi lo ha venduto non sò a chi. Ovviamente ci giocavo e basta e i giochi erano bellissimi ai miei occhi di bambino.

Yeah. Now you could call them try softs.

Was the SC 3000 your first gaming machine?

@@Vienna3080 Yes it sure was. Glad that I did pick it up because it led to a series of events that landed me a job at Sega.

Pacar was the first game I ever owned.

Thanks for share buddy! :D The way you and your father managed to save your tapes was quite genius!

I concur! LOL.

I always pronounced it "Ze( like in Zeth but without the th part) guh(like gut without the t and adding a silent H at the end or like Ga as in lady Gaga but just one Ga ). SAYGa makes me want to chop my ears off.

SUUUUUUGGGGGAAAAAAAAAA

It was called Gyrus and quite frankly was a bit boring. I actually traded it back for another game.

In general, Id say yes lol. But for this particular instance, I think Sega just really wanted to test the waters to see which direction they wanted to take their company next, Home Computers or Home Consoles and let the consumers decide lol.

everyone did, to everything. collector cards, marbles, transformers. if only you could buy a landfill and marvel at what precious items are there.

G'day! You certainly have my attention. I've been trying to track down both local Aussie and Japanese carts for the system. I'm on Facebook and Twitter under Since Spacies if you would like to reach out to me. Glad you liked the video.

yeah for sure am tempted to buy a kit and make a Sega game

Only 3 commercials in the middle of 17 minutes is a low amount, especially considering I have no corporate sponsors yet. The only TV channels I can think of that would include less in such a time frame is the BBC but that is because it is funded by the TV licensing fee instead. Anyway glad you enjoy the show!

We (UK) also used to say sEEga in the '80s. I remember the exact time that changed, when Sonic 1 came out and we heard the famous SAY-ger chant for the first time. Pre-internet it's amazing how 'regional' ways of pronouncing things remained, before all this stuff was mainstream on TV etc there was literally no way to hear how certain things were pronounced coz all we had were magazines.

@@TheRestartPoint that is it, you didnt see foreigners in regional australia as they didnt just pop in over the border on holiday. you learnt about new things via tv, I can still remember the scandal when aussies were told to change the pronunciation of nestle.

jerrica benton It’s great isn’t it? Sadly though it doesn’t have enough nazis or sharks!

@@michaelplatt1959 The last time I got to talk about the Nazis in one of these videos was about the Korean Super Comboy - where I compared Nintendo working around the Korea/Japan trade embargo to the Story of Coca Cola inventing Fanta to quench the thirst of the Nazis after the Coca Cola ban. So Nazis are covered here too!

I knew someone would comment on this. LOL

Because they were an axis power. Despite all the revionist history in Japanese museums trying to excuse them of any wrong doing in the war.

Yes, I have reviewed it in the past on the channel but intend to make a video focused on its failings later this year.

@@TopHatGamingManChannel yeah, I saw the review, but I like your in depth 'why it failed' videos

cool finally at last. now that impresses me.

Which is the hidden reason why they came up with the Vectrex. No TV needed!

this SEGA console was super expensive, so you dont think a kid is going to buy one? It was $3000 rrp. Companies learnt with john sands demise that you sell consoles cheap and gouge with games. I think you are a bit jaded by your own parents, I was allowed to use the colour sanyo tv during the day no issue. Night time was when my working parents wanted the tv and bedtime was 8pm.

they are a bit cheaper now champ. dont worry about him too much, saves plenty of money in rent

You may have seen me type this before, but the girls in the thumbnails imitate the gaming magazines of the past. Many are literally ripped straight from front covers, this one for example from a cover of PC Engine Fan. Like to keep my thumbs looking as retro as possible!

Thanks, Ill add it to my long list of things to cover!

The thing is though, if it wasn't Sega of Japan not understanding foreign markets and destroying things from within... then it was usually Sega going above and beyond to make sure that the customers they had, had inexpensive options to carry their prior platforms into the future. The SegaCD, the 32x, the VR ideas, the Activator, and so on... all more so seen as ways to allow folks who have older systems, to get into the newer generations capabilities... but without paying the absorbent price of the newer gen ecosystem. Rather, just adding what was needed to get what they already had up to that new level, but for the incremental price of the incremental hardware rather than the all in price of the new system overall. The audience never perceived things this way though. Not sure why however... It's not like Sega was telling everyone to buy everything, but merely saying "here's a giant menu, buy what makes sense for you in your specific needs case". Allowing Genesis owners to go 32 bit for a hundred bucks.... to get FMV back when computers with multimedia support were thousands, for hundreds instead... To allow those who had no rigs what so ever to go 32 bit when the time came, via getting a Saturn. Basically they were attempting to grant previous gen owners the ability to skip generations overall. With the act of adding simple upgrades to what they already had for fractional pricing. I always saw this as something amazing, everyone else felt like Sega was beating them over the head saying Buy this, ITS OLD, now buy this, DUMMY ITS NOW OLD, buy this, now this, now this... but that was never it.

except that the "Tower of Power" i.e. the Mega Drive + Mega-CD + 32X is amazing. The Mega Drive and Mega-CD are stellar systems and even the flawed 32X is an interesting piece of hardware in many ways but the 32X and saturn duality was a massive problem... and sega should have avoided wasting their time and money with the reskinned sg-1000 II and same when it comes to the mark III/master system, they should have stuck with only one revision and brought the fm sound unit worldwide instead of bothering about second importance things basically sega always had great material but often lacked a solid focus and many and I mean MANY great games on their systems were poorly marketed if marketed at all which obviously doesn't help either

What, you had one in 1983? wait a minute, your name doesnt check out. total millennial fraudster I bet
