Most of us hate Sega because we actually owned and LIKED playing the games on its consoles (most of SEGA's games rock), but then got screwed over because we bought the consoles just before;
(a) the company ceased support for that particular console in order to concentrate on whatever new project they would eventually fail, or
(b) the company bailed out of the console business just to cover its debts from Example A.

We aren't SEGA haters because we think the company makes mediocre-quality games. We're SEGA haters because we wasted our valuable cash investments buying product failures from the company over and over again.

Get the sega hater mug.The North American version of the Sega Mega Drive. Sega's Genesis was released in 1989 and competed with Nintendo's old 8-bit video game system and the Turbo Grafix 16 (a 8-bit system with two processors). The best competition for the Sega Genesis would come from the Super Nintendo, who would have a higher resolution and more advanced sound chip, but the Sega Genesis was still able to compete and sometimes out do the newer Super Nintendo, partly due to the fact the Sega Genesis had about twice the processing power as the Super Nintendo.

Get the SEGA Dreamcast mug.PEOPLE! These AWFUL and INACCURATE definitions for Sega HAVE TO STOP! Sega has NEVER made weapons for the military or "photo boots" of any kind.
Sega was founded by an american named David Rosen who saw how popular pinball machines were among soldiers on US military bases. He started a company called Service Games to import these pinball machines to US bases in japan. Eventually he bought out a Jutebox facotry and used it to start making arcade machines. SEGA was printed on the side of the machines because it was short for "SErvice GAmes" and Rosen liked it enough to make it the new name for the company. Eventually they started to release home console systems in japan and fianlly released the SEga Master System(SMS) worldwide(IT WAS OT THEIR FIRST SYSTEM!). Eventually the videogame market crashed and the US assets of Sega had to be sold off but in Japan Sega survived by being bought out by Japanese investors. After that Sega went on the Release the Genesis(also know as Mega Drive in places where Sega was actually popular). The Genesis was a hit because most people weren't willing to wait two more year for the SNES to be released. Sega then screwed up with every hardware item they released after that such as the Game Gear, Nomad, 32X, Sega CD, Saturn and Dreamcast.
Now Sega is sucking the dicks of every other company for money to pay off their seven years of debt.

Get the Sega mug.Service Games.
Made in the 1960s by an American named David Rosen. The company started off as a successful photo boot company, bought out a Japanese jukebox company, and started making games in the 1970s. The company began making consoles in the 1980s, the most successful being the SEGA Genesis (1988), the SEGA Saturn (the Japanese version of course)(1994), and the SEGA Dreamcast(1998). After the surprising failure of the SEGA Dreamcast to pull the company out of its half-decade of debt from releasing poor quality consoles before the SEGA Saturn, SEGA sold itself out to Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft.
