Many who grew up with Sega’s consoles used its 1-800-USA-SEGA customer service number to call about upcoming games and for tips and secrets. It was a great and personal way to speak to our favorite company. Sega has now disconnected the number, ending a grand part of its history. In tribute, Ken shares his experiences calling Sega over the years.
Virgin Interactive gave Sega gamers plenty of reasons to be happy, releasing some of the best platforming and action titles of the era. During this period, Brandon Humphreys played a solid role in creating many of Virgin’s biggest hits, including Aladdin and RoboCop vs. Terminator. Recently, we had a chance to chat with him, and he was kind enough to share his experiences!
Don’t let the odd weather fool you! It’s still perfectly fine to stay inside and play all those great games you’ve been meaning to get around to. December is a great time of year to catch up on the ol’ Pile of Shame, and hopefully you were all nice enough this year to get some of the games on your want list. Check out what our staff and readers have been playing this month and see if Santa treated them better than he did you!

Tectoy was Sega’s partner in the country, and it saw major success there. We recently chatted with its president, Stefano Arnhold, about Tectoy and its efforts.
