all and all it was a great vid though

[strictlysega]

@51rickjames u didd read the title of the video yeh?..1940-1990?

we do most our vids about sega games that came out between 1991 and 2001 so we didnt feel it needed to be covered in this vid,, we do have a sega history vid about what happened after 2002.. thanks for the comment

[51rickjames]

@strictlysega oh ya sorry ijust woke up when i made it

[strictlysega]

@51rickjames lolz.. reading is ur friend

[51rickjames]

@strictlysega i dont even remember making that comment. i thought i was responding to someone who wrote what i wrote. weird

Nice video. Sega has a history that not many people know about including myself.

[DdlyHeadshot]

The master system did just as well as the NES in Europe, but both were still in the shade of actual computers because you could do so much more with them for a fraction of the price!

zakk wylde farewell ballad

[koolkitty8989]

Well: The video game crash has nothing to do with the SG-1000 Mk.I/II/III not doing well. They were only released in Japan and the Mk.I was released at the same time as the more advanced Famicom.

[koolkitty8989]

Nintendo soon became the dominant force in Japan's home console market and Sega's SG-1000 Mk.II and SC-3000 were mostly just repackaged SG-1000s.

The Mk.III was finally competitive on a hardware level, but Nintendo owned the market already.

[koolkitty8989]

Also, the SMS arrived in the US prior to the NES really taking off, only a couple months after the NES made its nationwide launch with Super Mario. Atari/Nintendo/Sega were seen as equals in mid 1986, but Nintendo had the right marketing and a killer pack-in.

[koolkitty8989]

Finally, the Genesis launched at $189.99, not $200.

Now, I just wanted to point those things out. I thoroughly enjoyed the video and did learn some things. (mainly the events in the 70s)

[strictlysega]

@koolkitty8989 yeh i went on the release price of the mega drive in Australia,, yeh overall your comments are valid but yeh being Australian the points u make were different there in US than here,, but thank you for your constructive comment.. its a nice change to alot of the crap i get..

[koolkitty8989]

Thanks, I also forgot one point on Tonka though, they didn't start marketing the SMS until 1988, and some show an improvement over Sega's original US marketing. (the ads seem better at least)

But that was only for North America of course, other branches still had their own Sega Directed marketing.

And yeah, things differ a lot from region to region. ;)

[strictlysega]

@koolkitty8989 dude,, where were u when i was writing the script... i have a sms episode planned,, do u mind if i contact u for that? would be good to get some solid info about the American release,, as the Aussie side is SOOOO different

[koolkitty8989]

@strictlysega Sure, I guess, most of my knowledge comes from online (or digitized articles) combined with some fairly detailed forum discussions. However, if you're looking for a bit of fact checking or other info, I'd suggest checking out sega-16 ;)

[steveandbobsho]

@strictlysega great video thanks for making

[koolkitty8989]

Oh, one last think I didn't clarify: the SG-1000 wasn't affected by the crash because it was the North American Video Game crash of 1983, not international. (and Japan's home market didn't really start to take off until the SG-1000 and Famicom were released in '83)

[Segasaturnguy]

Ah great job. I still love Sega.

season 4 wow still can not believe all this time went by. it 2010 for crying out loud!!

[skat1970]

Just kin and me piss farting around between takes ronnie FOIRE!!

[Gamester81]

It's really too bad that the SMS never really took off here in the States. It's such a more powerful system than the NES. Great editing as always too!

[Mrlike2watch]

Awesome job to all involved... i feel like a Sega expert now LOL !!

[supermichael1996]

Awesome!

[strictlysega]

thanks man,, im just impressed so many people sat through what really was just a history lesson and actually enjoyed it.

[ronmower]

What the heck was that at the end? lol.

[starsoldier1]

Excellent video. Nintendo took way too long to release their Super Nintendo which made me get a Genesis.

[KieranD212]

some familiar voices in there lol!

pretty good video, informative and well edited

[StriclySegaEurope]

awsome as allways

[strictlysega]

im just glad its done,, its been a video ive wanted to make for years now

[sinistermoon]

Way awesome! Really enjoyed that. And Steve Vai fits this video very very well!

[ianwilson1978]

Excellent stuff, really enjoyed watching that. Nice work guys :)

[MN12BIRD]

Excellent editing and lots of info on Sega history! Great voices esp Superdan88 and of course ReviewtechUSA always had that down. Oh and I don't understand German but I love how you included it anyway!

[strictlysega]

StrictlySegaEurope is from Denmark,, its Danish.. but I think that can be excused as I thought it was Dutch (Hollandase.. lol).. but yeh,, provided something different hey?

Its Australia day today so I have the day off so im going nuts editing today so I might even have part 2 finished tonight....And i don't mean Finland.. lol

[AllBitGamers]

Most excellent. It's pretty funny the reaction I get when I tell people SEGA was originally an American company. It's strange how little is generally known about the history of such a large company.

[strictlysega]

it amazed me too,, how many vids there are about Nintendo's history, but nothing about Sega really,, and what there is only taps into like the 40's to the 60's for like ten seconds.

[mexicool187]

Great video. I'll help out when ever I can. Told you it would come out great. great job give yourself a pat on the back. there was so much history on sega that I never knew. I am a lot of people did not know this. Season 4 look like it off to a great start.

[ReviewTechUSA]

good shit man.....
