References to Sega/Film and television
From Sega Retro
To do
- Rewrite main References page.
- Get image tabbing working for multiple-image entries.
- Split Print into separate page.
- Search this blog.
- Search lyric websites.
- Search sample websites.
- Mark all product placements.
- Ensure all entries which feature both a Sonic and Sega reference have all references listed on both their respective entries.
- Ensure all entries which feature multiple references include an image of each reference.
- Add Sonic products which reference Sega products (with obvious caveats; think the Dreamcast texture in that Sonic Adventure boss fight.)
- Add non-review television/notable web shows which cover video games, but probably only with a single entry which contains a list of every Sega game which has appeared on the show. Think a single entry for GameCenter CX with a list of covered Sega games. Just one image too, I'd imagine.
Film
- Throw Down (2004) - Columns is briefly seen in the background. Film here.
- Pulse (2001) - An unknown reference in an arcade. Film here.
Television
- Evangelion - A "SECA"-branded camera appears in at least one shot.
- London's Burning - The firefighters were occasionally seen browsing the internet on a Dreamcast during their free time.[1]
- Solar Opposites - The first episode apparently contains both a Dreamcast reference and a console which looks like a Saturn.
- 2 Guys, A Girl, And A Pizza Place - A Dreamcast in character's apartment[2]
- Ben-To - Episodes 3 and 9 should contain additional references[3]
- MTV Cribs - A football or basketball player has a Dreamcast because Sega Sports gave him one (possibly because he was featured in the game)
- Bodacious Space Pirates - Unknown reference[4]
- Gantz - Kaze does one of Virtua Fighter's Akira’s moves to kill a demon. Additionally, Takeshi gets killed by an abusive boyfriend, only to play Virtua Fighter 4.[3]
- Air Master - Virtua Fighter references in episodes 1, 17, and 18.[3]
To investigate
- Silver Spoon S02E09 2013-03-13 The episode "The Last Milk" contains a Puyo Puyo-series reference. <- I could not find this despite skimming through it twice. Therefore moving it to here until now.
- See Spot Run <- I was unable to find a Dreamcast. Taken off for now.
- I'm not seeing a Dreamcast in Ah My Godness or Cheaters; neither can I find a good citation for them. I'm thinking of removing them, unless someone can prove me wrong!
- More unmarked refs[4]
- What's the reference here?[5]
- Someone mentioned that one of the many people seen playing a Game Gear in the movie Airheads is playing "Sonic the Hedgehog", but I wasn't able to find it.
- Orange is the New Black - reference in "latest season of the show"[6]
- Bob's Burgers - Season 5 Episode 9 "Speakeasy Rider" reference
- Dream Team - members of the Harchester United F.C. were often seen playing the Dreamcast.[1] <- I went through several seasons of this show and found nothing
- Music references obfuscated by old forum code.[7][8]
