History of Sega

I think it was the right call to remove the duplicate mini-histories of certain Sega products from the Sega page, but I wouldn't bother maintaining a big "History of Sega" page like this - the subject matter is too big.

More detailed history is better suited to the contents of Category:History, or, for specific products, pages like History of the Sega Saturn or whatever.

A rough timeline of important events might be useful, but I'd probably stick that back in the Sega page. -Black Squirrel (talk) 12:02, 27 April 2017 (CDT)

Service Games

Marty Bromley, Dick Stewart, and Ray LaMaire are credited as the founders of Service Games... after an extensive search on magazines of the time I could only associate Irving Bromberg and its son Martin to "Irving Bromberg & Co." their company (Washington Blvd., Los Angeles)... the Brombergs have nothing to do with Service Games...--Asagoth (talk) 03:38, 20 November 2018 (CST)

Edit:According to Lauran Bromley (daughter of Marty Bromley) after her father and its associates Dick Stewart, Ray LaMaire and David Rosen sold Sega to Gulf + Western, Marty Bromley (at the time aged 50), Dick Stewart and Ray LaMaire (after enjoying 6 months of retirement), went to Spain and started Segasa of Spain... in her words:

"All four of those boys (Bromley, Stewart, LaMaire, and Rosen) were involved with Sega until they sold it in 1968. From what I gather, Ray, Dick, and Dave had more money than they had ever seen, and they were going to retire. My father would have been in his fifties at that point. They got an offer from Gulf + Western and decided to retire, and that lasted all of six months; then three of the boys (Bromley, Stewart, and LaMaire) started Segasa of Spain".

Edit:It looks that I'm wrong... Marty Bromley and Martin Bromberg are the same person (Why people change their names!?) ... So my sincerest apologies to you all... found another picture of him from 1966 in the Amusement Trades Exhibition in London (where Sega exhibited a game called Ascot)...--Asagoth (talk) 03:37, 21 November 2018 (CST)

Pacific University

This is no novelty (I think...) ... So Sega Enterprises accquired a vessel in late 60's and baptized it the "Pacific University" ... Sega equiped it with an arcade and embarked on a cruise with - "Seven hundred and fifty Japanese college students and business trainees, together with 50 instructors on the a series of 5-week voyages..."-... according to Cash Box Magazine the vessel was converted from the passenger liner Margarita... its a beautifull and charming story (I almost could hear the Love Boat's theme playing in my head) but the problem is ... which vessel is the "Margarita" passenger liner?... well ... obviously is not the vessel called "Margarita L" (formerly "RMS Windsor Castle") because it was named "Margarita L" only in 1977, when it was sold to the Lasis Group, owned by the Greek finance and shipping magnate Yiannis Latsis ... but what I know is that Yiannis Latsis bought three cargo/passenger liners in 1963 and one of them was the SS waterman (born "La Grande Victory" it was manufactured in USA by the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation, and was used by the US Navy as a Troopship in WWII and sold in 1947 to The Dutch government for its navy and converted in 1952 into a migrant ship) which received the name "Margarita" ... Yiannis Latsis sold it somewhere in 1967/1968...The ship was scrapped in 1970 at Hiroshima, Japan ... what you guys think of that? ... I'm not entirely sure...--Asagoth (talk) 13:56, 22 January 2019 (EST)
