History of SEGA
The History of SEGA
I've been lucky enough to be given the opportunity by White Owl Books to write a history of the classic video game company SEGA.
As a big SEGA (and Sonic) fan, this is a wonderful opportunity and I've really enjoyed every moment of researching and writing. I am hoping to have the book be as comprehensive as possible, covering the three major markets of Japan, North America and Europe, as well as some smaller ones such as Brazil and Australasia.ย
Starting with the company's humble beginnings right up to the current day, I'm hoping that all those interested in SEGA, video games and gaming in general will find a lot to enjoy in this book.
While I do post occasional updates on the book here, the best way to keep up-to-date with it is to follow me on either Instagram or Threads. However, below you can see a check list of where things are up to.
