Several VHS recordings of never before seen Sega Channel found and preserved online

by

The Sega Channel, a long dormant online games-on-demand service for the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive, has long been an enigma in the years since its official sunset in 1998. Very little material from the service has been preserved or documented, and there is still so much that only those who subscribed to the service and have vivid memories of it would know for sure. Thankfully, @Ghostsencore and prolific Genesis romhacker Billy Time Games have come across a smorgasbord of archived VHS tapes containing recordings of someone, presumably the person who recorded the footage in the first place, perusing the menus of Sega Channel during a few months where the service was still alive and well.

Garfield: Caught In The Act The Lost Levels finally found and shown off publically

by

In a fantastic moment of lost Sega history now found (As well as on a Monday, much to Garfield’s dismay), the “Lost Levels” ROM for Garfield: Caught in the Act (1995) has finally resurfaced after 29 years (give or take). It was set up for the public to play at Portland Retro Gaming Expo this past September 27th-29th 2024.

A long video of the game was uploaded onto YouTube by PZTunleaded, who stresses in the video description that they are not the one to have found the ROM, despite what the above tweet from Lost Media Busters claims. PZTunleaded was only a guest at the expo and wanted to show everyone the game in action. They also promise in the description that the game ROM will eventually be shared with the public online and to not “be a nuisance and/or a menace pls”, so kindly cool your jets and be patient. No need to kick anyone off of any tables. You can see the video beyond the break.
