In this episode of Sega Talk, we track the radical evolution of SEGA’s North American branding, from the clinical “graph paper” grids of the Master System to the high-tech “black box” era of the Genesis. We dive deep into why Sega abandoned its uniform look for the iconic red-stripe rebrand of the 90s, the switch to the massive plastic long-boxes of the Saturn, and finally, the Dreamcast’s sleek transition from bright orange swirls to the edgy “SegaNet” black. It’s a nostalgic look at how Sega used graphic design as a weapon in the console wars, shifting from a toy company aesthetic to a lifestyle brand that defined a generation.

On this episode, we look back on his history and remember David Rosen.

This week on SEGA Talk, we’re stepping back into the 16-bit era — but not the way you expect. Tanglewood is a brand-new game built for real SEGA Genesis hardware, programmed in assembly, shipped on physical cartridges, and developed almost entirely by one person. We’re breaking down how it was made, the brutal development challenges, and what it tells us about what the Genesis was truly capable of.
