SEGA NEWS -part 2
Sir Han J. Lee
One of the first thing that got my attention when I got the
Nov. issues of MD Fan and Beep! MD was their backpage ad, which
was SEGA Mega Modem advertisement! The date of release is
October 21, so I suppose it came out already in Japan. (btw
Nov. issue magazines actually come out on Oct. in Japan.)
Along with the modem-compatible games such as Tel Tel Stadium
(baseball game), Tel Tel Maajang, Cyberball, SEGA also provides
a dial-up gaming network called "SEGA Game Library." SEGA Game
Library has so far the following games: Phantasy Star II - Text
Adventure (actually there are pictures, too), Potter Golf (a
golf game similar to Zany Golf), and Piramid Magic (a maze, puzzle
game)
The Mega Modem comes with a "Sega Network Cartridge, SEGA Game
Library," and its retail price is 12,800 yen (~$80?)
Dial-up service fee is 800 yen per month, which is very cheap also.
