References guide
The following is a list of commonly-encountered References issues.
- Notability: Most published or aired references to Sega are included. However, particularly in the Internet category, we require a certain level of notability for new entries.
- Sponsorships: Any officially-sponsored references, such as award shows or motorsports events, belong in Sponsorships.
- Recurring references: Any commonly-recurring references, such as a character in a television series, only need their first appearance listed. Ensure to note that said reference is a recurring one.
- Multi-game shows: Any television series which cover numerous games by different companies, like GameCenter CX, only need their first reference covered. Ensure to list any future references in the same listing.
- Hardware in Sonic references: If a reference features someone playing a Sonic game, and it shows them using hardware required to play the game (like a Control Pad (Mega Drive) or Game Gear), that reference doesn't need to be copied here as well.
To do
- Rename to Film, Television, and Web?
- Make a distinction between References and Sponsorships (may need content migrated between articles)?
- Limit entries by notability?
- Otto - Der Außerfriesische was co-financed by Sega. Check for product placement.
- Solar Opposites - Saturn appearance.
- Dream Team - Members of the Harchester United F.C. playing a Dreamcast.
- London's Burning - Firefighters browsing the internet on a Dreamcast.
- Two Guys and a Girl - Dreamcast in a character's apartment.
- Cheaters - Dreamcast appearance.
- Bodacious Space Pirates - Dreamcast appearance.
- I found the scene of Dreamcast in London's Burning. I'll upload it tomorrow! - Deathscythe
Mr. Robot
The logo uses same font as Sega. Is that qualify to this page? Geti3220 (talk) 14:02, 22 May 2024 (EDT)
- That's a really good question. One I had to research. And... I don't know, its hard to tell. On one hand, they're based on different fonts. On the other hand, the designer of the Mr. Robot font had to have known that a good majority of the audience is gonna see that logo and think "oh that's like the Sega logo." If anything, with the content of the show, it gives off less a Sega logo vibe and more.... a retro tech industry vibe? Maybe that's not the best way to describe it, but I think the design is referencing what the Sega logo was based on, more than the logo itself.
- So in this case, its probably not a Sega ref, but I'm not super sure :) CartridgeCulture (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2024 (EDT)
