Always been a Sega head since the Sega Master System since I always liked Sega arcade games as a kid it was only natural for me to want their games on their systems. Dreamcast and even for 56k modem Sega.net gaming online services was pretty well done even before broadband internet. Sega learned about Online play with the Netlink addon they made for the Sega Saturn. Sega was a real innovator too bad they didn't have that steady cash flow and they were sucky business men that burned too many bridges so people lost faith in them which is why the Dreamcast flopped.

I wanna say they also had some online connect ability for the Mega Drive (or maybe it was just the Super Famicom). Either way, Sega was always innovating but their problem was that America and Japan was communicating properly which lead to the 32X debacle which really hurt them from a consumer's perspective when the Saturn finally drop.

Even now they are still fukking up as only software providers. Why don't they continue making Sonic games like Generations? Why don't they reboot Shining Force in an accessible why like Fire Emblem Awakening for handhelds? Or reboot the RPG Phantasy Star? I wouldn't even be mad if they teamed up with Nintendo developers to make some of those titles happen
