Guys? 
 
 
 
....Guys?

Guess I should turn off the lights since I'm the last person in here

No

I remember when Sega was cool. Not when they "were" cool, however.

but but

I barely remember.

" but but "

" No "

I thought the Gamegear was cool. As well as the 32x and Sega CD.
 
But I never owned any of them and on reflection I'm glad for it.

lol

I think the decline in general started when Knuckles came into existence. Not just for the Sonic franchise but for Sega.

Yeah. When I was about 4 or 5 I had a friend who owned a genesis, and therefore Sonic 1-Knuckles.

I remember the good ol days for Dreamcast.  I miss that console.         :(

Well...they made Valkyria Chronicles, didn't they? That was kind of cool...

Fuck yeah, SEGA was awesome, Yakuza is still cool, and I actually have hope for NosCon sonic, lets just wait and see.

" Well...they made Valkyria Chronicles, didn't they? That was kind of cool... "

Genesis was the heyday.   Yeah I had the shit on lockdown.

Those memories are here somewhere.

" Sega are pure evil. Pumping hedgehogs full of steroids. It's disgusting. "

Right now they're probably the most out-of-touch developer I can think of

And in case anyone who has a job at SEGA is reading this, I don't mean offense towards any individual but it seems like the past 15 years have been a series of poor decisions in marketing, what games to publish, fan reactions, etc
 
With noteworthy exceptions like Shenmue or Bayonetta of course

Sega and cool never go together. It's like water and oil, they just don't mix.
 
Their attempt at cool was a bunch of bullshit about Blast Processing.
 
If Nintendo has some how maintained that cool kid on the block thing even today (even if there's some cooler kids around), Sega has been that poor retarded kid you can't keep your eyes off of.
 
There's the occasional spark of genius that tells you there's something more than the retard, but most of the time you know what to expect.

AHEM, AHEM, and more AHEM. "

I don't recall.

" Sega was ever cool? The only people that I knew who owned a Genesis was because t heir parents wouldn't shell out the extra fifty dollars for a SNES. "

Does anyone not remember OutRun? That was the most innovative driving game of its time. Plus, the soundtrack was awesome.

yes... but then they sold out

Shouldn't it be was cool?  Sega is one company... right?

Sega Genesis was cool, I knew a lot more people that had a Genesis than had a SNES but that was a LONG time ago.

SEGA was never cool

I am kinda in the same boat with you... I remember when sega used to be my favorite vidja game developers and they had all these great games on the dreamcast .
Jet Grind Radio... Shenmue... even powerstone was hella fun.
Now that some time has passed... I just can't see the same sega anymore.
They were really retarded about the cutting out of hostess bars in Yakuza 3.
I still had faith in them but now... now I am not so sure.
Well atleast they're doing well in Japan still.

I loved SEGA.  I was a Genesis owner when I was a wee lad.
They haven't really done anything to me personally to hurt me, so I'm still cool with SEGA. 
I just wish they'd APPLY THEMSELVES, GODDAMMIT!

Wait Sega used to be cool? Maybe I'm just too young to understand....

I guess I don't understand the question. Do I 'remember when Sega was cool' implies that they are no longer cool. (I've never been a big fan of Sonic but I really do like Yakuza.) So, at what point did Sega become 'uncool'?

" Guys?      ....Guys? Guess I should turn off the lights since I'm the last person in here "

After this, I never want to look at SEGA again.

" Sega was cool but then came 3D. "

i was just a wee lad....
