Service Games, Los Angeles, also known as SegaSA, Inc.[7][8][9] (not to be confused with the Spanish amusement company Segasa), was the fifth and last branch of Service Games to be opened. Headed[10] by Michael Singer[11] (CEO), the Los Angeles branch of Service Games was established on December 31, 1996 by American businesswoman Lauran Bromley[12][13][14] (Martin Bromley's daughter[15][16][17]), in an attempt to fulfill her personal dream of having an interactive cable and satellite television channel, dedicated entirely to video games, to bring all the excitement of the arcade experience to the home television.

Called "Vega Universe: Vega Game TV"[18][19][20][21][22][23], and headed[10][24] by American television writer and producer Larry Brody (Lawrence William Brody; President), the service consisted of a 24 hour-a-day game entertainment cable and satellite television channel[25][26][27][28] entirely devoted to games and game-related activities and products, generating income from advertising and home shopping (video games, traditional games, music, books, game memorabilia, game machines and computer systems, clothing, and promotions).

The project was canceled due to the lack of investors.
