Though Sega dates back to 1940, this year marks 50 years since it released Periscope which was its first arcade machine. Following that followed decades of Sega games of which many are fondly remembered by those who played them.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Outrun
Virtua Fighter
Panzer Dragoon
Golden Axe
Shinobi
Daytona
Crazy Taxi
Scud Racer
Sega Race TV
House of the Dead
Phantasy Star
Billy Hatcher
NiGHTS
Burning Rangers
After Burner
Ecco the Dolphin
Fighting Vipers
Jet Set Radio
Metropolis Street Racer
Seaman
Shenmue
Shining
Streets of Rage

All just some of the many franchises that fans have loved and that Sega mostly has lying dormant in their vaults. Whilst they still publish the occassional Yakuza, Sonic or Hatsune Miku game the company tends these days to avoid most its series and doesn't try to compile them into collections as much leaving many to history now.

What are your favourite Sega memories and which games/series do you think Sega should revisit?

I was disappointed enough bitd when proper sequels to Wonderboy, Phantasy Star, Alex in Miracle World, etc never showed up. Even a well made HD sequel isn't going to feel like a real continuation. At least we have the games that exist.

*and*
Moonwalker (Genesis)

...have really lost their luster for me now that my worst fears about Jackson have been confirmed recently.

I guess I shouldn't hold my breath for a Moonwalker reboot/refresh/remix/sequel any time soon.

Metropolis Street Racer?
What a great game. Pretty realistic as I found it hard to gain kudos, just like in real life.
