Sega Channel Memories on Video

Posted on 04. Dec, 2008 by Richard in Retro Gaming, Video Games

When looking at the history of video games, it is very hard to ignore SEGA’s impact on the industry. One innovation that is often overlooked is SEGA’s groundbreaking on-demand gaming service. SEGA Channel was launched in 1994, and provided 24/7 access to a library of more than fifty games every month. Subscribers also had access to Sega Channel exclusive titles, as well as demo versions of upcoming games.

I had Sega Channel as a teenager, and it never occurred to me to record the intro screens and menus for posterity’s sake. In fact, the possibility of such footage never even crossed my mind until I ran across these videos on YouTube.

As a huge SEGA fan, I owe Azuritereaction a debt of gratitude for posting these videos.
