The history of Sega began in 1983 with the release of the first 8-bit console, the SG-1000. By the late 1980s, the company had earned a reputation as one of the leading brands in the gaming industry. In 1988, Sega introduced the 16-bit Mega Drive, which launched the iconic game featuring the character Sonic the Hedgehog in 1991. Sonic became the symbol of the company due to the immense popularity of the game.
Hideki Sato, the creator of the Sega Mega Drive, has passed away.
Under Sato's leadership, the 32-bit console Sega Saturn was also developed, which failed to win the competition against the Sony PlayStation.
In 1998, Sega released its last console, the Dreamcast. After 2003, the company changed its strategy and, merging with Sammy, created the holding Sega Sammy Holdings for game development.
Sega began publishing games from popular series such as Total War, Yakuza, and Football Manager.
