Revision as of 12:25, 29 November 2012
Unless there's objections, I'm going to replace the "Forum Updates" section of the main page with a "On this day..." section, just to give the site a bit more life. The stuff generated from this user page is too slow and crappy so I've hard-coded a bunch of "big" events below.
This is worthless for about 320 days of the year, but it's better than a broken RSS feed. Feel free to re-word things and add more stuffs. -Black Squirrel 14:09, 28 November 2012 (CST)
NOTHING HAPPENED TODAY.
Suggestions, not sure if you want to go witht hem
(changes)
{{#ifeq:|12-03|*1994: The Sega 32X was launched in Japan for ¥16,800, on the same day as Sony's PlayStation and shortly after the Saturn.|
(new)
{{#ifeq:|01-31|*2001: Sega announces that it will cease production of the Sega Dreamcast, consequently bringing its home console business to a close.|
{{#ifeq:|03-29|*1991: Shining in the Darkness was released in Japan, launching one of Sega's largest franchises.|
{{#ifeq:|04-30|*1993: Sega settles its infamous Sega v. Accolade lawsuit, which helped to establish protection for makers of unlicensed games, and would result in Sega gaining Accolade as an official publisher.|
{{#ifeq:|12-20|*1997: Phantasy Star was released in Japan. It would go on to become Sega's flagship RPG series.|
feel free to reword anything
the date for the sega v accolade thing comes from here (after checking a 1993 calendar to see what the respective Friday is); I don't have LexisNexis access right now so I can't get out the full timeline I wanted to
other ideas I had but I can't find exact dates: release of Virtua Fighter, Yu Suzuki either leaving AM Plus or Sega outright - Andlabs 15:06, 28 November 2012 (CST)
- 87
- anyway added. Apparently Mediawiki doesn't like the nesting of curly braces so I've turned one ifeq statement into twelve. I've also had to wrestle its unique view on line breaks, which means uglier code. But still functional... hopefully -Black Squirrel 15:56, 28 November 2012 (CST)
