Not all #Sega locations are getting the GiGO rebranding. Sega World Matsubara will be closing in a couple weeks, at the end of November 2022. Let's give it a final visit and get some photos.

I'm as sad to see the Sega signage disappear as anyone. Truly the end of an era. But it's also desperately needed. The remaining Sega locations are dusty, sun-bleached and feel very worn down. Here's some shots from a recent visit to Sega World Izumi.

Here's another scan for you: a Sega Mega Drive introduction booklet featuring Japanese rapper/writer/actor/TV personality Itō Seikō.

Itō was the image character for the MD hardware, also appearing in TV CMs. Part of the "gimmick" was that he was multi-talented, and thus well-represented the multi-purpose functions of the MD (modem, keyboard, printer, etc).

Hey, have you ever heard of the Sega AI Computer? Yeah, most people haven't.

Anyway, here's a scan of an expensive pamphlet detailing the scarce hardware.

On the Dreamcast dev box side, things are coming along well as I now have sample programs compiling and running!
