Contents
Theme
The facility is themed around the concept of a "Sega Dreaming Factory" which sends Sega's fun, joy, and dreams to the world. The entrance to the building is designed to resemble a television screen, while the interiors are adorned with brightly-colored gears, logos of popular Sega game franchises, a timeline of Sega arcade game releases, and colorful comic-book styled murals featuring Sonic the Hedgehog. The centerpiece of the venue is the giant, 104-inch "Dreaming TV", a working television screen mounted on a pair of immobile robot "legs" which patrons can walk under. The "Dreaming TV" was originally used as a demo station for Sega's new Dreamcast console, but currently displays a static promotional image.
