Are you familiar with the Yakuza series, Persona series, or Puyo Puyo series of video games (among many others)? Sega is one of the top publishers of video games in the world. In 2020, they were ranked #1 publisher by metacritic based on average game score: https://www.metacritic.com/feature/2021-game-publisher-rankings-summary-table https://www.metacritic.com/feature/2021-game-publisher-ranki... They were also #1 in 2016, and are usually in the top 5. It's a running meme on social media that despite Sega's success as a publisher, many people only know them for Sonic the Hedgehog :)

I'm not familiar with those games. My personal Sega saga began in the 80s with the Master System, and ended with the Genesis and Game Gear (which I still own!), and which I credit with sparking my original interest in computing technology. I did of course play plenty of Sega arcade games, but I didn't know until much later that they started out supplying coin-op slot machines and amusements to military bases in the 1940s and 1950s. It seems like the company went through 3 or 4 lifespans before they entered my awareness in the 80s.
