| | Sega - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Sega was attempting to "lock out" game companies from making Genesis games unless they paid Sega a fee (ostensibly to maintain a consistent level of quality of games for their system.) Their strategy was to make the hardware reject any cartridge that did not include a Sega trademark. | | | In 1986, Sega of America was established to take advantage of the expanding video game market in the United States. | | | Sega entered the video game console market in 1983 with the introduction of the SG-1000 in Japan after having test marketed it there since 1981. |

| | Sammy has little interest in the GC with its current games on the PS2 and no where near the GC. | | | But it seems that Sammy are going to take a firm grip on their share of the software legend- and drive them in the right direction. | | | Sammy recently purchased huge shares in the company, an act seemingly intended to rebuild the remains of the collapsed merger between the two companies. |

| | SEGA had a very good gaming name and still has a recognizable name in the industry, Sammy just is not a good brand that hooks up with anything. | | | Sega does not have the best name (especially in the states) in gaming, maybe Sammy will have people looking differently at Sega. | | | Sammy made all their money off the japanese gambling and pinball machines... |

| | I still play and enjoy "Smash-up," "Threshold," and "Sammy Lightfoot," and also other games on the Apple have that have never been reproduced anywhere such as "Marauder" and "Crossfire." Those were great games! | | | After "Sammy Lightfoot," someone told me that there was a way on the Apple to determine when video-blank occured [the brief period between frames that occurs roughly sixty times per second]. | | | "Sammy Lightfoot" also employed a crude priority scheme where objects passed behind other objects instead of in front, which would produced an undesirable x-ray type of effect. |
