Absolutely Rose Street is a thirty-minute infomercial created by Sega of America, advertising agency Patrico-Sinare and Impulse Productions, which aired during November and December 1994 on US television. It existed to help promote and sell the Sega 32X and its initial library of games. The infomercial was also presented as being "interactive", with viewers able to call a specified telephone number and vote on the plot's outcome.[1]

Spencer Nilsen created the music, with one track being included as part of Sega Music Group: 1995 Sampler.

Blurb

Max and Christina have "GAME BEAT", a video game review show. WHITEHEAD wants to kill it and make Stella a star. But it's your call, BUB. If you've got a phone, you can play big time TV executive. Their fate rests on your vote. All this power, and you get to see some secret Sega stuff too. Cool.
