The Sega Channel

[JAxlMorrison]

Had this on my mind for a few days, was racking my brain as to what I was thinking of. Kept asking friends if they remember "The Nintendo Channel" to no avail. Finally through my friend Google, I realized it was the Sega Channel.

Does anyone remember this innovative concept, did anyone use it, and what are your memories of it?

I had it. My main memory of the service is that it didn't ever fucking work.

My area didn't have it, nor did I have a Genesis, but I remember the Mega Man 1-3 remake being exclusive to it, and if had been available as a cart I probably would have been jealous of Genesis owners, but it wasn't so I wasn't. Thanks, Sega Channel!

I read all about it in a copy of Sega Visions magazine. It sounded interesting but I don't think it ever launched here.

Do you mean the Satellaview?

I had it for a couple of months. At the time, I think the main draw of it was that it had Primal Rage before it came to the console. I remember there being problems with it and I didn't miss it.

Definitely remember it! We had the Sega Channel for quite a while. Hated how sometimes you would have to unplug the adapter and fiddle around with it to get a connection. I think that was one of the few times that my brother or sister would get up early enough at the beginning of the month to check out the new games.

I had it too. My main memory of it is it barely ever working right.
