The '''Sega Lindbergh''' is an arcade platform based upon a Linux-embedded PC. [[Sega]] had originally planned to use the Microsoft's [[Xbox 360]] as the basis for the arcade board, but instead opted for an architecture based on standard PC hardware. This decision was probably made because it is usually more cost effective to use a PC as a gaming platform than it is to use a console.

The '''Sega Lindbergh''' is an arcade platform developed by [[Sega]] as a successor to the [[Sega NAOMI 2]] arcade system. It was launched in 2005 and acted as Sega's "primary" arcade system until the release of the [[Sega RingEdge]] platform in 2009.
  
According to [[Sega-AM2]] president [[Hiroshi Kataoka]], porting Lindbergh titles (such as ''[[Virtua Fighter 5]]'') to Sony's [[PlayStation 3]] is generally easier than porting to Xbox 360, because the Lindbergh and PS3 use a GPU designed by the same company, Nvidia.

Unlike previous arcade platforms which had either been bespoke systems or based on home console technology, the Lindbergh family (and virtually all of its successors) mirror the architecture seen in standard PCs, with a Intel Pentium 4 as its main CPU and graphics cards supplied by [[NVIDIA]]. [[Sega]] had originally planned to use the Microsoft's [[Xbox 360]] as the basis for the arcade board, but is thought to have opted for standard PC hardware as this proved more cost-effective.

According to [[Sega-AM2]] head [[Hiroshi Kataoka]], porting Lindbergh titles (such as ''[[Virtua Fighter 5]]'') to Sony's [[PlayStation 3]] was generally easier than porting to Xbox 360, because the Lindbergh and PS3 use a similar GPU.

Lindbergh was introduced by Sega when the arcade industry and the company itself was at great change. Ultimately, only ''[[Virtua Fighter 5]]'', ''[[After Burner Climax]]'' and ''[[The House of the Dead 4]]'' were released on console, with the latter two being ported half a decade later. Arcade games became increasingly exclusive to arcade operators, to keep incentive for people to go to actual venues both in Japan and in the western world.

==Variants==

There are five variants of Lindbergh, each designated by colour, although the casing design is thought to be much the same across all of them.

Sega Lindbergh
Manufacturer: Sega
Variants: Yellow, Silver, Red, Red EX, Blue
Release Date RRP Code

The Sega Lindbergh is an arcade platform developed by Sega as a successor to the Sega NAOMI 2 arcade system. It was launched in 2005 and acted as Sega's "primary" arcade system until the release of the Sega RingEdge platform in 2009.

Unlike previous arcade platforms which had either been bespoke systems or based on home console technology, the Lindbergh family (and virtually all of its successors) mirror the architecture seen in standard PCs, with a Intel Pentium 4 as its main CPU and graphics cards supplied by NVIDIA. Sega had originally planned to use the Microsoft's Xbox 360 as the basis for the arcade board, but is thought to have opted for standard PC hardware as this proved more cost-effective.

According to Sega-AM2 head Hiroshi Kataoka, porting Lindbergh titles (such as Virtua Fighter 5) to Sony's PlayStation 3 was generally easier than porting to Xbox 360, because the Lindbergh and PS3 use a similar GPU.

Lindbergh was introduced by Sega when the arcade industry and the company itself was at great change. Ultimately, only Virtua Fighter 5, After Burner Climax and The House of the Dead 4 were released on console, with the latter two being ported half a decade later. Arcade games became increasingly exclusive to arcade operators, to keep incentive for people to go to actual venues both in Japan and in the western world.

Variants

There are five variants of Lindbergh, each designated by colour, although the casing design is thought to be much the same across all of them.

Lindbergh Yellow

Yellow is the "standard" Lindbergh system, used for most of Sega's "big" games which do not need special requirements.
