| − | For much of its lifespan, [[Sega]] has been maintaining '''medium-scale attractions''' all over the world. For Sega Retro's purposes, these can be considered to be noticeably larger than an average arcade machine, but smaller than, for example, a large outdoor roller coaster or ferris wheel.

| − | Unlike a typical arcade machine, medium-scale attractions aren't usally "sold" by Sega - they are designed and manufactured by the company to reside in one of their many indoor theme parks. Medium-scale attractions are designed to ber permanent fixtures (i.e. they can't be "moved" to a different part of the venue), and their size and complexity means they often require supervision by a member of staff, either for safety or maintenance reasons. Sega usually charges a premium to use these attractions, and they are treated as main selling points for a venue.

| − | While Sega has been producing medium-scale attractions for trade shows and events since the 1960s, the concept rose to prominence in the early 1990s, when Sega began opening [[Galbo]] and [[Joypolis]] indoor theme parks (followed by the likes of [[SegaWorld London]] and [[Sega World Sydney]]). For example, order to make [[Tokyo Joypolis]] stand out from the then hundreds of [[Sega World (Japan)|Sega World]] arcades, medium-scale attractions were installed that were not available anywhere else in Japan (or indeed the world in most cases).

| − | Most medium-scale attractions during the 1990s were produced by [[Sega AM5]], though this division was often supported by other AM teams.
