Sega's Game Archive

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3267/...602ea056_m.jpg

Jeff Coe tips us to news that a group of Sega employees recently stumbled upon a storage room in the company's product development department that contains just about every piece of hardware and software Sega has ever released. They were also kind enough to snap some photos and share them.
"We asked around about how the room came together and couldn't get a straight answer. Some had said our old legal department had run the archive and given it up to someone else to manage. Others said that the legal archive still exists in another room in the office, and this was pulled together over time from producers and product managers. We don't know the exact how or why, but we love that it exists and immediately accessible."

Oh my god, I would kill for that collection, seriously. I wonder if there are unreleased games on that GD-Rs

The presence of super nintendo and nintendo 64 carts confuses me.

Agreed.

if that's not amazing, then i don't know what is

i wonder if other companies have something like that?

i'd love to see sonys

That's a smart thing to do. Helps to remember where you came from and not lose focus on what made video games so tremendously popular and successful many years ago.

Sega needs to get back in there and re-learn how they should be making games and try to forget about what they made the last few years

I am amazed something like that would just be tucked away in some closet. I wonder if the whole thing will end up on e-bay. If it was me, I would keep it in all its glory.
