BACKGROUND INFORMATION

All these brochures were picked up from my local GAME store, (called Electronics Boutique at the time!).

As you can see from looking through them SEGA were highly optimistic in their outlook and forecast for some games, albeit some third party publishers have let them down, their own marketing machine was keen on putting some games barely in development in the brochures, notably Sonic Extreme and Sonic Fighters both never actually released for the Saturn. Sonic Fighters was actually released in the arcades.

Also some games underwent name changes during the development process for instance Lobotomy's excellent FPS was originally entitled 'Ruins' before eventually being released under the name 'Exhumed' on its European launch.

Please be aware that most of these files are extremely large, upto 10Mb in some cases, and will take a while to open or download without a broadband connection.

The Game Is Never Over

THE GAME IS NEVER OVER

This brochure came packed with some Saturns and also given away with magazines. Originally was stapled top to bottom but upon putting this together it looks like it was meant to be stapled left to right!?

Reality Always Hurts

REALITY ALWAYS HURTS

Features an interview with SEGA Rally creator Tetsuya Mitzuguchi of AM2 fame. I think all the games featured in this brochure were eventually released for the Saturn.

SEGA Saturn Here Now

SEGA SATURN HERE NOW

The SEGA marketing boys got a little carried away with this one. Features Sonic Extreme and Sonic Fighers and a others that never saw the light of day! One page article on SEGA World in London, no longer open.

Teaser brochure for an up and coming hero that no one had ever heard off! There are still calls going out to SEGA to complete a remake to this day!

Those calls have been answered too...

Power To Play

POWER TO PLAY

Nice brochure must have been one of the last too judging by the games that are shown. Notably the game Ninja shown was canned by CORE in late development, what a shame looks like a good game too.
