7/29/05 - A Brief history of Sonic the Hedgehog.

This is not a complete history, definitely not. I hope that someday maybe I can write a full background history of SEGA and Sonic, complete with dates and such, but until such time here is a brief history of SEGASonic!

SEGA is a massive video game producing enterprise. It has actually undergone several changes since it's beginning, however. It's actual start was in 1952, a man named David Rose created the company known as "Rosen Enterprises." Rosen was in the US Air Force during WWII. After the war, he moved to Japan where he set up his company. In the beginning, his company imported instant photo booths and coin-op games. Both of these were a well liked by the populace. Rosen Enterprises began to move more towards it's coin op games. They soon went into a merger with a jukebox company known as Service Games. The merger created the company now known as Sega.


A Quick Look at TSW's Condition. Hello fans, Right now, TSW is doing alright. The one major problem is our server. It goes incredibly slow, due to many difficult conditions, such as: 1. We're popular now, so too many people accessing it. 2. Internet that is not fast enough, we need a T1 or T3 line. 3. Our Server Computer could be a lot better. Our Plan is to host all our pages on a nice, fast, website provider. That way, even if Knuxman's electricity goes out, all the pages will still be up, and the only thing down will be the media. The media - and probably pictures - will still be hosted on Knuxman's computer. This should really help the Sonic World improve, speedwise. If Anyone would like to reccomend a really fast internet website host/provider, with unlimited bandwith and good space for a reasonable price, please post on the forums, under The Sonic World. Thanks again, and thank you all for sticking with us despite the annoying slow page loads.

Rosen now had the means to produce his own devices, that is, with all the factories he acquired because of the merger. Having roots in arcade games, the newly dubbed SEGA began producing games for arcade consoles such as the Atari. SEGA produced games such as Frogger. Around this time, SEGA Enterprises was started in America. Shortly after, SEGA was sold to Japanese investors, thus becoming SEGA Enterprises Ltd. Read full article on page b1
