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.
