Interview: Steven Kent

[Melf]

We have an interview with one of the most knowledgable gaming historians on the planet, Steven Kent. The author of The Ultimate History of Video Games stopped by and talked to Sega-16 about all things Sega Genesis, with some interesting results! Read the interview (http://www.sega-16.com/forum/../Interview-%20Steven%20Kent.htm) for more info.

Good stuff, but for the last time, that Chevy Nova fiasco was blown out of porportion. It actually sold well in Mexico....

It's like the Fiat and the Ford jokes.

Ford spelled backwards = Driver Returns on Foot. :p

I wasn't trying to change the subject or anything, but I am a car nut and I am anal about these things.

[Joe Redifer]

Good interview. He stated my views on current-Sega almost exactly. Sega definitely doesn't have that spark that they used to, and it's not the nostalgia talkin'.

[j_factor]

That was a really good interview.

All those names that got thrown out are people that should be in future interviews.

Sega definitely doesn't have that spark that they used to, and it's not the nostalgia talkin'.

I completely agree. I find it even more disgusting that they use their well-known series as crutches *cough*Sonic*cough* as these same series continue to deteriorate gradually over time. It's actually gotten to the point where I wish that Sonic would just go away forever. And if Sega doesn't get their act together, I'll probably wish the same for them.
