Few video game companies have a history as long and impressive as Sega Enterprises. Long before it took the home video game console market by storm, Sega was already an arcade powerhouse that successfully transferred its experience making coin-operated amusement machines into the video game boom of the late `70s and early `80s. The combined efforts of Sega's American, European, and Japanese branches revolutionized the arcade industry in ways that are still widely felt today. Thanks to their work, Sega has continued to innovate and lead the industry in design and quality for more than 40 years, producing some of the most famous arcade titles in history. Based on interviews with former Western and Japanese developers, as well as hundreds of English and Japanese documents, this book follows the rise of Sega in the video game industry, from its electromechanical machines of the mid-1960s to the acquisition of Gremlin Industries and the rise of its world-famous AM Studios, and finalizing with its merger with Sammy Corporation in 2003. 62 of Sega's most popular and ground-breaking games are explored in detail.
