Title: Kickstarter: Sega Megadrive/Genesis: The Collected Works
Post by: jeffhlewis on November 15, 2014, 04:22:47 AM

This book is a Kickstarter project by the UK group Read-Only Memory (they did a similar book for a history of Sensible Software). It was written in partnership with Sega, who gave them full access to the corporate archives and whatnot.

I backed this project about a year ago, and just got the book in the mail from Switzerland yesterday. It's amazing quality (hard cover, full color everything, gatefold pages) and has a ton of content and interviews to dig into. Can't wait to read it.

Took some pics of it - I'll post them in a few.

The pages are heavy weight glossy - interviews section is a lighter weight black and white (seems like it's almost an homage to Jump manga or something). I'll post the table of contents next time I get a chance.

It sounds better than Console Wars that's for sure.
