NEW!!! SEGA Technology for 1995!
Benjamin Joab Hoppe
Either that is a real sick joke, or you are crazy as a loon, or a Q, or a
owner of a TurboGrafx 16, who hasn't bought ANY other system yet.

From Benjamin Hoppe (usr1...@tso.uc.edu), compliments of Yakko Warner:
"It's a great big universe, and we're all really puny, we're all little specks
about the size of Mickey Rooney. It's big and black and inky, and we are small
and dinky, It's a great big universe, and we're not!"

Dr Samir Gupta
of SEGA's New Technology research department, and I would
like to tell you about some of the wonderful accessories
that my department is researching, and will be available in
the near future! We will be issuing a formal world wide
press release in a few days, but we are posting this
announcement to all you USENET users because you are some
of our most loyal customers!
First, we have SMELL-O-VISION. This is a innovative
accessory which connects to the modem port of your SEGA
Genesis system! This device can synthesize any smell known
to mankind, and will greatly enhance YOUR enjoyment of SEGA
with special SMELL-O-VISION software! The first will be
LEISURE SUIT LARRY SMELL EDITION, by Sierra On Line. (Whew!
check out that bathroom smell!) SMELL-O-VISION will be
available in late 1995. (We still have to iron out some
bugs in the molecular synthesis unit.)
Next, we have HOLO-GENESIS. HOLO-GENESIS is a 3-D laser
holographic projection device for your Genesis. It can
display 3-D rendered images, in full-color, in real-time.
It uses a special Intel/SEGA HGX-1 3-D graphics coprocessor.
Coming in mid 1995!
Then, there is SEGA COCKPIT. It is a full-sized replica of
a standard jet fighter cockpit, complete with working
gauges. The best part is that it will have a hydraulic
system, like that found in our arcade games! So you can
move n' groove with the action! It is R-360 based, so you
can rotate along all 3 directional axis, and can generate
forces up to 8 Gs! Barf bag is not included! First game
will be FALCON 3.0, ported directly from the computer game.
Next is SegaTalk. This is a HIGHLY ADVANCED SPEECH
RECOGNITION DEVICE, which can recognize voice in real time!
It can distinguish context, and can distinguish almost any
accent. Preliminary tests indicate a 0.000001% error rate.
The secret is based on a secret US Air Force device to let
pilots control aircraft weapons systems by voice. We have
adapted this military technology for entertainment use.
(NOTE: This device is subject to export restrictions by the
US Defense Department and will not be available in all
countries, due to the sensitive nature of the technology
used) Available in fall of 1995. The first game will be
Ultima 7. But, in this version, you can actually carry on
full conversations with the characters, using your
VOICE! And they talk back to you! The game will have
a dictionary of about 500,000 English words, and can
recognize very complex grammatical structures.
Well, that's all. I hope I have whetted your appetite for
SEGA games, and I hope you look foward to the best SEGA has
to offer you in radically new technologies for your
gaming enjoyment.

back, and he couldn't even answer basic questions about Sega, not to mention
he's talking nonsense.
The reason he frequents the net now is that it costs to hang out on the Prodigy
BB's, so his incoherent babblings cost him real money. Damn shame.

(because that is sega's address) and 2) having a good laugh. The error
is that Sega is not hooked up to internet, but to JiffyNet (Japanese
version of internet).
The Email returnpath is all wrong, put it's missing another key point,
the mail router at NNT.

Listen, you think that Internet connections are free?
This is costing Sega - I only thought that you gamers
would be more appreciative taht I am giving you inside
info before anyone else.

Here's a really scary thought: the dude is actually real and Sega just bit
the big one!
NOT!

> When did SEGA start hiring Indians as head of department?
Well, SEGA hired me because my qualifications seemed to be greater than that of the
other people they were considering. Race was not a consideration.

Hey, the TurboGrafx 16, with arcade card and cd rom, will beat the Sega
Genesis with Sega CD any day. I resent that remark about the TG-16 being
a bad system

Man, is this guy for real? Listen here Gupta or whatever your name is,
you are without a doubt the
biggest asshole I've ever encountered on USENET. You're lucky that we can't
trace where you are, because we would have hunted you down and beat the shit
out of you.

There is no domain named xxx.sega.jp in Japan.
If SEGA's domain is under the jp, it should be named xxx.sega.co.jp

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Erm, Samir Gupta doesn't sound very Japanese to me at all. Sounds like
an Indian name if anything. If that is your name (which I doubt quite highly)
then what is the character-for-character spelling as that certainly isn't it.

TG16/CD can't hold a candle to the Genesis/CD. And even if
you can get the games at decent prices, most of the cool ones
are RPGs that require knowledge of japanese to really appreciate.

Well, the connection from Japan to Hannover must cost a fortune...
*Never* use uunet in the faked part of a Path; the resulting contortions are
a real giveaway.

Dude, lighten up, will you? I thought it was kind of amusing when I first
read his post. Just repeat to yourself, "It's just a joke; I should really
just relax."
