 Sega was known for their arcade games at the time of their entry into the home
market. They initially licensed their games to Coleco for the ColecoVision console
and later to other companies including Atari. Games such as Frogger, Zaxxon,
and Pengo were very successful, so Sega decided to publish its own titles. The
games that followed were Buck Rogers, Congo Bongo, and Star Trek (three games
that Sega also published for the 5200). Then they teamed with Bally/Midway to
release Tapper and Spy Hunter, but the market was crashing and Sega decided
to get out of the market. However, three years later saw the release of their
Sega Master System, a competitor to the Nintendo Entertainment System. After
several mildly successful consoles, Sega has decided to get out of the console
hardware business altogether and return to producing games for other companies'
systems. You can find out the latest Sega news at www.sega.com. |
