The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
Longtime Sega-16 readers are well aware of our investigations into the history behind Sega Visions magazine. From our editorial about its history to our interviews with former writer Bill Kunkel and Niles Nemo cartoon artist David Sullivan, a great deal has already been revealed. This time around, we’ve gone a few steps up on the Sega Visions heirarchy and spoken to former managing editor David Sullivan, who was with the periodical since its origins as the Sega Challenge newsletter.
Sega-16 was lucky enough to score an interview with the man who drew the short-lived Niles Nemo comic strip, David Sullivan. He had some interesting things to say about working with Bill Kunkel and Sega of America. Check it out for yourself; you know you want to!
With a talented staff and no shortage of great games and hardware to cover, Sega Visions had the potential to rival Nintendo Power in size and quality. Unfortunately, it was forever denied prominence due to internal feuding and politics at Sega. Still, it was the only official U.S. magazine ever released by Sega, and it lasted for more than half a decade.
Bill Kunkel is widely considered by most to be the father of video game journalism, and his work on the classic magazine Electronic Games will forever be remembered. He also was the Game Doctor in Sega Visions and wrote the Niles Nemo comic strip that ran there for six issues. Sega-16 talked to him for a bit about his experiences at the magazine, and you know you want to read it!
