History
It worked closely with Sega to produce components for the Sega Model 2 (under GE Aerospace, which became part of Martin Marietta in 1993) and Sega Model 3 arcade system boards. The company was once at work producing a "Saturn 2" for Sega, though the contract was lated dropped in favour of 3dfx, which was in turn dropped in favour of PowerVR, eventually coming together as the Sega Dreamcast.
Contrary to popular opinion, Lockheed Martin was not actually involved with the development of the Sega Model 1, but it was developed internally at Sega, before Lockheed Martin became involved with the development of the Sega Model 2, according to Real3D's Jon Lenyo (and former Lockheed Martin employee) in 1998.[1]
As an aside, Lockheed Martin's millitary products have featured in F-16 Fighter. Martin Marietta sponsored the Model 2 arcade game, Desert Tank.
