Hey guys, something that's pretty awesome that you should all see. Greg Sewart, one of the hosts of the excellent Player One Podcast has started a historically focused web series devoted to Sega's 16-bit days. Greg is well spoken and this series is well produced. Make sure you check it out!

I thought the name Greg Stewart sounded familiar; I then realized you meant Greg Sewart. Anyhoo, I watched the episode and enjoyed it quite a bit. It was really thorough. However, I think it was a little too critical of the Genesis and it's launch titles. I understood the points he was making about arcade to home ports (mainly that arcade games are designed to be difficult in order to compel the player to pump more money into them, and that you can't translate that exact gameplay paradigm to a home gaming experience), but I think he might be reaching a bit and over-analyzing.
