Those of you who have been getting your crossword on for a while may have come across this clue already, but it's new to us. Reader Genoboost snapped this picture of a clue in New York Times Crosswords that immediately sent us back into our memories of the tooth-and-nail mid-'90s console war. Back then, (spoiler) Sega and Nintendo were opposing forces, seemingly destined never to meet. Sega's "edgy," screaming ad campaigns sold millions of impressionable kids on Ecco the Dolphin and blast processing.
And now look where that advertising has ended up, thanks to Majesco, who actually manufactured and sold Genesis and Game Gear systems before they got into game publishing. Put some fresh batteries in your Nomad and take the trip past the break for the original commercial from which the clue takes this slogan. SEGA!
I love me some sega..........i have a 32x on that thing and the sega cd........when i went home all i did every night was play NBA Jam and street fighter 2 and Streets of rage2 with my bro. The dreamcast was pretty dreamy also
Haha awesome! You posted it =D Greatest day of my life perhaps?
Anyway, I myself was a big Sega hater back in the day, ever since their demise though I have been far kinder to Sega, even eventually picking up a used dreamcast and LOVING the Sonic Rush series.
I still don't own a Genesis though. To that I say...

The domain is up for grabs - maybe Majesco should buy it:
