Pete Gibbins is a long-time SEGA fan who wrote a book detailing his memories of games he enjoyed throughout his life - the school, the university, and the work years. My Life with SEGA is a different kind of book about SEGA; one which, if like me you're a SEGA kid, you owe it to yourself to read, because It's almost certain you had some of the same experiences detailed in its pages.

This week we're celebrating the 30th anniversary of a series that's been synonymous with SEGA since its inception: ToeJam & Earl. I've invited some of our homies from the SEGA community to share their memories of these thirty years and their hopes for the future of the funky alien duo from Funkotron. There's lots of that and music. I mean it. Glorious music.
