Sega Retro always needs improvement. This is a centralised (if unorganised) list of things to do.

Primarily this involves making a page whenever you see a red link.


Anyone is welcome to contribute. You may also edit this page as you see fit.

Games

arcade machines

slot machines

[1] [2] [3] [4]

"Classic"

pc

DVD

Atari 2600

http://www.digitpress.com/faq/vcsalt/cc_vcsalt.htm#sega

Thoughts are that these just got names and box art, no code:

Aftermarket

Mega Drive

Mega Cat Studios

1985 Alternativo

Dreamcast

compilation stuffs

views on this please - do we want pages and scans, or do we not care enough

home computer covertapes

  • Amstrad Action (Fourth) Birthday Gift Pack (1989)

for arcade specalists

http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=19661

replacement control panels for Sega arcade cabinets

  • Sega Boardmaster (two releases)
  • Vega 2000
  • Vega 9000DX
  • Super Vega 21

Everything else

  • Venues + "Game Carnival" (ゲームカーニバル) - Sega arcades in the 80s?[5]

copy edit/verify

This mostly lines up with my own research (it looks like we dipped into several of the same secondary sources) but does differ from my own work on some things:
* I show parts of Standard Games (specifically its distribution network) sold off to Stern post-dissolution in 1949-1951:
* They briefly mention shell companies but don't go into many of them (Service Games Panama becoming COSI, SARL, that weird one out of the Boston area, Segasa, etc.)
* Only a passing mention of Nesor-Rosen in Rosen Enterprises
* Good to know I'm not the only person utterly confused by Nihon Goraku Bussan

part 2 -Black Squirrel (talk) 12:06, 31 October 2015 (CDT)

Pachinko/Pachi-Slot

"Aladdin 2" or "Aladdin II"? (DS)

Ruten.com.tw

I've got a lot less free time than I had, and I'm not able to keep up with this anymore. Ruten is a Taiwanese auction site which has all sorts of wacky gems, but if you don't grab the photos quickly the item can be bought and de-listed. It's not like eBay where a record sticks around for a while.

Sega categories organised by newest additions first:

This is where all the photos of multi-carts, bootlegs and weird peripherals come from -Black Squirrel (talk) 15:10, 24 June 2015 (CDT)

pre-internet services

Magazines

For Retro CDN:

France

Germany

http://www.kultmags.com/mags.php

+ extras

Spain

This collection (and similar ones) are all over the net, but they really need cropping and editing before being mirrored on Retro CDN. It's a massive job.

Italy

South Korea

  • Game Champ (게임챔프)
  • Game Line (게임라인)
  • Game Magazine (게임매거진)
  • Game News (게임뉴스) <-- good luck finding that one
  • Game Times (게임타임즈)
  • Game World (게임월드)
  • Super Game (슈퍼게임)

Brazil

Do not use Retro Avengers. They hide their crappy watermarks on the last pages of magazines. Be careful in Datassette as well, they are replacing old issues present in Data Cassete with Retro Avengers' version.

Japan

  • Arcadia
  • Beep!
  • Gamest
  • Gamest Comics (B6 and A5 Formats)
  • Game Boy (ゲームボーイ)
  • Game Side (ゲームサイド)
  • Power Gamer (パワーゲーマー)
  • Used Games (ユーズドゲームス) General game magazine, no score-review.
  • Yūgē (ユーゲー) General game magazine, no score-review.

I have some scan of Used Games and Yūgē. May i upload it ? --Akiyama Akane (talk) 08:18, 17 August 2015 (CDT)

Of course :) -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:11, 17 August 2015 (CDT)

US

(non-review publications)

  • Super Gaming

Note: There is no GamePro #81 - #90. They introduced numbers on issue #81 but accidentally called it #91, and then kept going from there.

the server doesn't like >100MB uploads - we're working on a solution -Black Squirrel (talk) 12:43, 26 July 2015 (CDT)

VGMDB scans

Usually they're crap. But if you take the url, something like:

http://medium.media.vgm.io/albums/75/357/357-1234988348.jpg

and remove the "medium.":

http://media.vgm.io/albums/75/357/357-1234988348.jpg

full size scan. May still be crap, but likely less crap. If only I'd known this in 2010.

some stuff

basically [heavily outdated] stuff from my own "to do" page, if anyone's interested. (some of them actually do have articles though, even if they are just stubs -- i just assumed all of the below didn't have articles). dunno if all of these count for sega preservation, but. --Uno10 (talk) 12:30, 1 January 2016 (CST)

people

Yuko Saito - screaming girl/woman in the SG-1000 ads

Things to do

Universal Studios

Apparently Sega and MCA/Universal were due to open a $20 million USD, 30k-50k sq ft attraction at Universal Studios in 1994. May have become Innoventions at Epcot instead?

Non-gaming magazines that have one-off articles

  • Billboard (lots of slot machine/electro mechanical stuff in the 1960s)
  • Autocar 1998-04-29 - Sega Rally 2
  • Wired (US) December 1993, Volume 1 issue 6
  • i-d 112 January 1993
  • Popular Science, June 1993
  • Popular Science, December 1999 (page 111)
  • Select, December 1995? January 1996? - there are some fake ads involving Bug[8]
  • Boy's Life, December 1992 (page 32-35)
  • Look-In (UK)
    • 1992-07-18
    • 1992-11-28
    • 1993-01-30
    • 1993-04-03
    • 1993-07-31
    • 1993-09-11
  • Wired ワイヤード (JP) 1995-03
  • Télé 7 Jours 1993-10-30 - 1993-11-05 (might just be a competition but still needs checking)

Press releases

need converting


https://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/home/template.PAGE/search/?searchType=news&searchTerm=sega&searchPage=127

there's a lot

Action Games

This is the Argentine version of Ação Games. Scans exist for many issues, but most are low quality, watermarked tat which isn't much use to anybody. In addition to the two I've already uploaded to Retro CDN, I've found half a dozen "acceptable" ones:

Unfortunately it involves piecing each page together. I've downloaded the images en masse if you want a zip, but they're not numbered, so you'll have to refer to this tacky site. It's not a pleasant task, and there might be more non-watermarked issues hidden away.

The articles themselves probably won't be very interesting as they're likely just Portugese -> Spanish translations, but the adverts will help us understand who was handling Sega consoles in the region, and when. Later issues even have two page spreads for Mega Drive clones. -Black Squirrel (talk) 11:16, 26 July 2016 (CDT)

People who exist(ed)

Sega Europe bods

UK marketing

  • Nick Alexander - UK marketing boss
  • Peter Wingfield - "Jimmy"
  • Steve O'Donnell - barber/Colonel Walter E. Kurtz
  • Geoff Boyle - cinematographer
  • John Lloyd - director (also did those Rik Mayall ones for Nintendo)

TODO: work out if we care

Newspapers

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sega+site:news.google.com/newspapers&source=newspapers&gws_rd=cr&ei=3ZE8WO3hNOuagAat35SQBA

Google has a stock of digitised newspapers from across history. Newspapers are a good source, though unlike gaming magazines, I don't think Sega Retro is set to benefit much from complete, cover-to-cover scans. I've started uploading single pages onto Retro CDN - it may need organising at a later date but I'm too lazy now.

Unfortunately Google doesn't offer the ability to download single pages as PNGs, so I've had to painstakingly stitch screenshots together. The results are good and it's easy enough to do, but it takes a while, so it's definitely a job worth sharing.

Famiclones

cut-pasted from Unlicensed Mega Drive clones - this isn't a Mega Drive clone, it's a Famiclone that looks like a Mega Drive.

It's out of scope in the sense that it has nothing to do with Sega, but I am partial to covering knock-offs like this that could be mistaken for the real thing. Leaving it here until I come up with a decision -Black Squirrel (talk) 13:14, 19 August 2017 (CDT)
