https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzkJsORj8oo







Quote
On this SEGA Talk, we return to the 1980s and take to the skies in the super scaler Thunder Blade!
We discuss the development of the “taikan” arcade machine, the downgraded SEGA Genesis and Master System ports and the M2 developed Nintendo 3DS port that returned Thunder Blade to greatness.

SEGA's AR Darts Game: Blockbuster

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3pk2S9oG9o

Each player starts with a tower of 301 blocks. The aim of the game is to destroy your tower by scoring as many points on the board as possible. Be careful, on hard mode you must finish on exactly zero or you are bust! The winner is the player to clear their tower in the fewest turns.

The SMARTS Augmented Reality system takes interactive darts to the next level. Using a plain white dartboard, the gameplay graphics are superimposed over the board and surrounding area with an ultra bright, laser projector. There are many games to choose from and more will be added soon.

Here but the game doesn't have MAME (arcade emulator) support yet so there is currently no way to play the ROM for now.

Why? Namco was just buying what they could buy, not forcefully taking it.

True, but with how long Sega had that building for, it might as well be a historic landmark.
