SEGA of America Producer and Designer Michael Latham, best known for Eternal Champions, passes away



Quote
During 1994 SEGA America would restructure its development teams which resulted in ‘Omega Group’ to lose its Director at the time, Scott Berfield, which was filled by Michael Lathan.
He was then producing titles like Home Alone, Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude! and his most popular title Eternal Champions.

Creepy McDonald’s SEGA Genesis game Easter Egg found after 30 years

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvGC5dJg3E8

Quote
Users can then move the object around using the D-pad or toggle to a different model, including a rough spaceship, the SEGA logo, and some simple cubes.
Solving the mystery is fun and all, but the Easter Egg itself isn’t terribly interesting — except for the disturbing music that accompanies it.
