The SEGAGuys

On March 29th 2001, just two days before the discontinuation of the Sega Dreamcast, SEGAGAGA was released in Japan. The game was described as a 'Sega Simulation', allowing players to take control of the company and save it from the 'evil DOGMA Corp' (aka Sony), who had 97% of the console market.

In this episode, James & Dan travel back to the 1990's and inspired by SEGAGAGA, detail their 13 point plan that could save Sega.

1. Don’t kill the Saturn so soon.

This is our 10th episode, and we truly appreciate and are continually humbled by the amazing support of our listeners and the community.

Thank you for tuning in, we hope you enjoy.

And so, here we are ... the finale of the first ever SegaGuys Chronicles and the end of our journey though the Virtua Fighter games which appeared on Sega hardware.

In this finale, James & Dan discuss the impact of Virtua Fighter 3 in both the arcade and the home, mull over the Dreamcast port and give their views on the work done by Genki, and touch on the Saturn port that never was while discussing the influence VF3 did have on a Saturn game you might know; Fighters Megamix.

Thank you to everyone who has joined us on this journey through the years and allowed us into their homes/phones/tablets/headphones to talk about one of our favourite gaming series ever.

We hope you enjoyed listening as much as we did recording.

In this episode, James & Dan pay homage to the wonderful Sega Saturn after the console reached the ripe old age of 25 in Europe on July 8th. The guys chat through their memories of the system, their first experiences with it, their favourite games, their most revered soundtracks, plus have the now mandatory Sega sing song and plenty of banter to boot.

Remember the BBC radio show called Desert Island Discs? You know, the one where celebrities come on and give a selection of songs they'd want with them if stranded on a desert island, along with one book and one luxury item?

Well, the SegaGuys decided to put a SEGA spin on it! What SEGA music would the lads want to be stranded with? What piece of gaming literature would they take and what luxury item would they want?

In part two, Dan (@swooper_d) gives his choices.
