So the video really ends around the 8:15 mark, but I'm a terrible editor and left some additional footage at the end of the video. Skip to 11:50 to check out more!
You know, it's like that hidden bonus track on audio CDs. You'd have the last track that would play for maybe 4 minutes, then have 12 minutes of silence, you just about fall asleep, especially if you were listening to that CD in bed on your cheap Discman clone to sleep better, and then boom, something is hitting your eardrums and putting that big smile on your face.
RGT, if you had a time machine and the nicest era-appropriate camcorder, like Betacam or whatever, where and when would you go and what would you film?
RGT 85 You can fix that problem without loosing views and comments. When you play your own video there are several options below the video. One of them is "Enhancement" click that and once inside click "Trim". After you trimmed the unwanted portion of the video click "Done" then click "Save". This trick only works if your video has less than 100,000 views.
I went there in '93, so I didn't get to see this display. However, I did get to see and play both Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter when they had just released. I already was a SEGA diehard, but when I saw those arcade cabinets for the first time; not only was a blown away, but I knew I had to get SEGA's upcoming 32 bit system. The experience of playing Virtua Racing in the arcade, with 8 other players who were literally from around the world stays with me, and is my favorite memory from Disney World.
Yo dude! I went there in 1997 with my family and then back again in 1999 which was smaller and all focused on the Dreamcast. It blew my mind and I had gone to SEGA heaven! I remember playing Vectorman 2 in 1997 there and making it my most asked for game for Christmas that year!
I was there myself, never forgot I was there though.... Spent 3 days there July 4th weekend, the summer before I started high school. Had a lot of fun, dominated on the 8 player Indy 500 machine there (pissed off a lot of cocky 20 somethings), one of the only games there that wasn't free.
I remember going to Innoventions at Epcot in 1996 for a friend's birthday. First time I got to play Guardian Heroes on the Sega Saturn. Awesome times! If you want an awesome Sega theme park experience, check out Joyopolis just outside Tokyo in Japan. Its Sega's very own theme park. I went last year and its a lot of fun.
I was at Disney World in March 1996, and that Sega stuff was all there. We didn't get to spend much time at innoventions, but I remember playing some of the older games there since the newer stuff had lines. Very cool, I wish I could go back and enjoy it now.
The 90's were the best. I miss sega i wish some how they could at least start to make games like they used too. I would like 5 series from them 1 more time and i would be good. Panzor dragoon 4 crazy taxi 4 PSO 4 A modern take on streets of rage (like 2.5D) And finally a new toe jam and earl And a jet set game wouldn't hurt either.
You know, it's kind of crazy but I was at that exact place in Disney when this Sega display was going on too, and I completely forgot about it as well. but this video reminded me. I don't remember much about it, but I think my parents didn't give me a lot of time to spend there since I had 3 other siblings that were much much younger than I was and wanted to go do little kid things. I also remember playing some extremely primitive 90's Virtual Reality game with a giant headset when I was there too.
I remember this. I went to Epcot with my parents in the early 90's and there it was. All Sega stuff it was like the first thing you saw when you entered the park. It was awesome.
Yoo I remember those locked up clear cases for game displays that you could play in stored. They used to have a button on the side of the console that would change the game. Completely forgot about those things. Crazy man. Great video. Takes me back
Kudos for uploading this VHS content. Didn't have the opportunity to head to Epcot center. Yet, I'll never forget seeing a Sega display in 87' at my local mall.
I have just watched the video in it's entirety 14 times at super duper high speed and taking into account what a projected mini RGT would look like back in the day I can report with 99.95% relative accuracy that unfortunately you were in fact not there...
GHOST OF SHADY And you have proof of this how? Even when RGT 85 already said that he was. Why would you accuse someone of lying when you have no actual proof?
+Peter von Feldt proof ? besides the video here you mean ?... My good sir well as an addendum to my former statement I have high speed watched the presentation again 8 additional times using facial recognition software with no hits confirmed not even a nose, also the admitted fact that RGT had no initial original memory of the visit and finally that his elderly and possibly early stage alzheimer's mother was the only one to confirm a visit there after much prodding from one starry-eyed and severely over-excited RGT all but slams the door on the poor boy ever having been there per this video...
I was there a few times and it was awesome to me as a huge Sega fan. That was also Innovations height of popularity, too. It was almost like veing able to Sega at E3 in the 90s but everyday for a few years. So glad you got the opportunity back then and glad Irretrogamer did this. He is a BAMF.
I was there, first place I place gun star heroes and the sega channel. I also remember a Nintendo set up with a bike game where you actually had to ride a bike standing in place. It was like the 1st wii fit.
Oh my god. Thank you. I have been here and I remember how it felt. I remember Saturn's set up, so it might have been a year or so after you were there. Top hat gaming man was talking about a Sega place in Australia, and it instantly reminded me of Sega at epcot. So I typed it up and this video came up 1st. Awesome.
Its funny I saw Iretrogamer's video first and then saw you video afterwards cause RUclips recommended it to me. I thought you had footage that you was going to show. But hearing what you remember was good too. i went to Innoventions when the Sega Saturn was out. It was a get experience I just wish my dad had recorded our trip to Epcot.
Yep. I was there. I remember this. What was even more interesting was what was in a different area of innoventions at the time. In what used to be the "computer revue" attraction Disney Imagineers were demonstrating a very early VR experience where you would don a huge head mounted display that was tied to SGI equipment. In the simulation you were on the magic carpet chasing Iago through the streets of Agrabah. This game was a prototype being demoed to determine interest in what later became DisneyQuest. The game was in Disneyquest early on. It was a pretty cool experience if you were lucky enough to get chosen to test it out .
So, there was another time after this when SEGA came to Epcot again to show off the Dreamcast, and specifically Shenmue. It had to have been either '99 or very early 2000. I got to go, and it was amazing. They had kiosks and monitors playing games like Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Power Stone, NFL 2K, NBA 2K, etc. But then they also had a whole other room, separate from everything else, just showing off Shenmue. To make a long story short, I was completely blown away, and I remember deciding that day that I would be eventually getting a Dreamcast just for the Shenmue series. It's a very special memory for me, and I'm always hoping a video of it will pop up somewhere. It's very cool that this video was found!
I was there as well in 94. They were selling game gears everywhere. They were having people preview Sonic & Knuckles and Lion King a few months before release.
Yeah I remembered that too when I saw the video. I went there in spring of 1995 when my high school choir (I didn't sing but played bass for their backup band) went to Disney World for a competition. Now I remember clearly going to the Innoventions pavilion. It's funny how the brain works, you just need a hint and suddenly you remember clearly.
6:11 childhood memories. I paid 3.00 to play this thing. They had a live announcer there and everyone was amazed to see a kid shipping their behinds in this game and act silly completing the race. I told them I had this on 32x and it played the same so this was child's play. When I hit the lotto I want a whole VF unit
I didn't grow up with SEGA in the 90s, I only came to grow up with them just when they went third party because that's around the time I was allowed to play videogames, but I still love them, their history, etc. So I can relate to your SEGA love even if it's different than how you know them.
I remember this in 1994 when I was at Disney World with my high school marching band freshman year. Was awesome then, but awesome to see through the lens of others. Damn I miss the Sega Genesis years.
I believe you man... there are lots of things i hardly remember that have become minor forms of gaming and/or movie history. Which i have seen at disney world, in boston, in new york, in the one traffic jam i was in that was in dc.... Im a home grown mass boy.... saw a lot in ny, nyc and boston. Ive actually seen myself in footage that i barely remembered.
_I Retro Gamer_ 's channel is built around those videos of his incredibly spoiled childhood. Just non-stop recordings of him opening boxes of import games and consoles his dad would buy. I swear his dad was in the mafia or something. Not jealous, just bewildered.
As soon as I heard you say Sega and Epcot Center, I thought of being 8 yrs old and seeing Michael Jackson's Captain E.O. movie in Disneyworld. The Sega connection in my head was in the Genesis version of Moonwalker on the cemetary stage , they couldn't get the rights to Thriller so they play Just Another Part of Me which was actually played at the end of the Captain E.O. movie. Just my 2 cents 😁
Ah marketing at its finest... The Sega 'Innovations' display hit peak in 1995-1997 when my family was fortunate enough to go back 2x in 2 years... I remember my dad saying how we drove 2.5 days one way just to play video games lol
Last time I came to Disney World was in early 1998. I was only 12, but I vividly remember the huge Sonic statue on an Epcot commercial on local Floridian TV. I really wanted to go there, but my father was like 'I didn't paid those tickets to play freaking video games'. So we ended up walking past Innoventions. Seems I missed out. Oh well...
I was at Epcot around this time maybe 95 but I just really remember hating that park for being so boring, I don't remember seeing this Sega exhibit but the next year at Ontario Place (Toronto) they had a similar thing like this but it was all SNES which was pretty amazing to see an entire room filled with games that were free to play.
Yup I remember this place vividly, I live in Orlando and in the 90s innovation was my favorite place to go just to play Sega games, if I'm not mistaken I think I played the Saturn there for the first time..
I think I went - I'd have to check with family as I'm 32 now but they had Sonic and Knuckles as an open cartridge when I went - I'll check the footage mentioned because I'd love to see if it was the same. I think Sonic and Knuckles was pre release, or certainly for the UK - the trip left a big lasting memory for me.
32X came out in fall of 1994, did they have demo units out in the summer of 1994? You mentioned buying yours on sale, so it must have been 1995 after it launched.
I have a photo somewhere of me posing with the Sonic statue in Innovations. The Sega exhibit was there from around the mid 90's till the early 2000's. I visisted it a few times during my childhood. Saw it when it was brand new and when it was close to shutting down. I should try to dig up my photos from there sometime. I was completely geeked the first time I was there and spent a ton of time playing Virtua Fighter on a giant screen arcade machine.
this is the kind of thing that your parents wouldn't let you spend more than 2 minutes looking at...saying something like "we didn't come to Disney world for you to just play video games"
Didn't know this existed. Really cool. Reminds me of the first time I played Virtual Fighter back in 93 on top of the Space Needle in Seattle Washington. Pretty epic. :)
I was there to see that too. I remember they were pushing a lot of VR stuff then. Sega had a VR demo where you hunted eggs in a castle and could shoot other people running around or perhaps bots. It was a massive headset that was suspended from the ceiling and you had to stand in a ring that was about waist height. I didn't play much else though because we had games at home and my family looked at games as just a way to waste time.
Lucky you, in 1994 all I had that is related to Sega at the time was my Sega Genesis and that one Sonic Tiger LCD game that I bought with my lunch money. I did had a chance to go to Disneyland but never to Disney World.
so funny because im having the exact same flashbacks as you!! i was at epcot in 94 or 95 and now seeing this video i can DISTINCTLY remember playing Sonic CD for the first time and being blown away. The demo had the first level of the game. i also remember seeing a sega pico demo station, which i believe was educational software. cant remember what was running on it but i for sure remember the name and going "huh??" in my brain. i remember literally nothing else from that disney world trip ... except that the hotel i stayed in on the resort had an Xmen Children of the Atom arcade machine that i played the shit out of.
I just kind of find it weird to forget an entire trip to Disney World. I can still remember going to a much smaller amusement park called Lincon Park back when I was about 5-6. Not meaning this as an insult, after all, anyone can only remember so much.
I rememebr going one summer and stepping into the cool air conditioned arcade for what it was, coming off the SNES to see games like clockwork knoght and gex was awesome., those are the memories I have... also Virtual on blew my mind constantly.
Greatest years of gaming. I had an NES too but wasn't impressed with my neighbor's Genesis enough to get one besides NES was still pumping out great games. But the Sonic the Hedgehog theme was catchy and great series I patiently waited for my SNES and it did not disapoint. too bad most of Genesis games for me we're ruff looking and had bad sound and controls but I have one now that I rescued from a childhood friend that was going to throw it away and I'm finding some nice Genesis gems Shinobi is one of my all time favorites especially the arcade version (when i was a kid). SEGA did have some of the best Arcades out there much respect. Awesome upload man thank you!!
A lot of people thought Sega vs Nintendo could have gone either way? No, nobody who mattered thought that, and no it absolutely could NOT have gone either way. It truly went the only way it could have except Sega is lucky to continue to exist in any form whatsoever, even as an Atari-style licensing shell -- mainly by way of Nintendo's good graces.
Was in that place in 1995, it was still the same the Saturn had not arrived yet so was May 95. now im sure i have some pictures some where i fondly remember taking a few .
The best reason to go to Epcot at the time. I played panzer dragoon and virtual on for the first time there. It's the reason I ended buying a Saturn. Man I miss my Saturn
Those 90's day's were those glory day's of us born in the late 70's/early 80's and for sega itself. What a cool rare footage, wich proves again why the 90's were sooo hot!!!
I am so pissed at the fact sega world was closed in australia i wanted to go there you had like those cards you charge up with so much credit and you could go anywhere in the building and swipe and play any games
My parents used to drop me and my brother off there while they walked around the world. Loved it! First time I ever played a 3DO too. My dad worked at Disney so I was there a lot.
Prototype Images of the SatAM Sonic Cartoon at 4:55. Back then, it would air on ABC Saturday Mornings. Sadly, it got bested by Power Rangers. The fact that Bubsy's pilot bombed screwed Video Game Cartoons out of the existence for a time, Still, I'm glad I have EarthWorm Jim.
I feel this man, it's like being reincarnated at another life but suddenly you remembered what your previous life was like. haha what am I talking about. subbed just because.

I was there in 97 (High school trip) and remember the Saturn displays they had there in Epcot.
Was there in July 1996 (my first trip to Disney World: July 4th - July18th 1996). I was in heaven.
nice!
I was there myself, never forgot I was there though....
Spent 3 days there July 4th weekend, the summer before I started high school. Had a lot of fun, dominated on the 8 player Indy 500 machine there (pissed off a lot of cocky 20 somethings), one of the only games there that wasn't free.

Nothing beats the 1990s great footage hope more old tapes show up from other people
you are correct... nothing beats the 90s.
I was at Disney World in March 1996, and that Sega stuff was all there. We didn't get to spend much time at innoventions, but I remember playing some of the older games there since the newer stuff had lines. Very cool, I wish I could go back and enjoy it now.
+Keith Loftin yeah dude it's insane. I can't believe I forgot about all this.
The 90's were the best. I miss sega i wish some how they could at least start to make games like they used too. I would like 5 series from them 1 more time and i would be good.
Panzor dragoon 4
crazy taxi 4
PSO 4
A modern take on streets of rage (like 2.5D)
And finally a new toe jam and earl
And a jet set game wouldn't hurt either.
DatGameCollector A new Toejam and Earl is being made I think
The Bisharp Bishop confirmed and it's coming to the switch
Yea but its not sega so meh but it could be good.
Didnt know that.
I went In 96 and I remember there being a big virtual space shooter ride
You know, it's kind of crazy but I was at that exact place in Disney when this Sega display was going on too, and I completely forgot about it as well. but this video reminded me. I don't remember much about it, but I think my parents didn't give me a lot of time to spend there since I had 3 other siblings that were much much younger than I was and wanted to go do little kid things.

+Joshua Norden yeah dude it's weird how we forget things. Glad it could jog your memory like it did mine
I remember this. I went to Epcot with my parents in the early 90's and there it was. All Sega stuff it was like the first thing you saw when you entered the park. It was awesome.
Yoo I remember those locked up clear cases for game displays that you could play in stored. They used to have a button on the side of the console that would change the game. Completely forgot about those things. Crazy man. Great video. Takes me back
Kudos for uploading this VHS content.
Didn't have the opportunity to head to Epcot center. Yet, I'll never forget seeing a Sega display in 87' at my local mall.
I have just watched the video in it's entirety 14 times at super duper high speed and taking into account what a projected mini RGT would look like back in the day I can report with 99.95% relative accuracy that unfortunately you were in fact not there...
GHOST OF SHADY hahahha love this comment
GHOST OF SHADY
And you have proof of this how? Even when RGT 85 already said that he was. Why would you accuse someone of lying when you have no actual proof?
Peter von Feldt I think he was joking or he meant in that exact video
+Peter von Feldt proof ? besides the video here you mean ?... My good sir well as an addendum to my former statement I have high speed watched the presentation again 8 additional times using facial recognition software with no hits confirmed not even a nose, also the admitted fact that RGT had no initial original memory of the visit and finally that his elderly and possibly early stage alzheimer's mother was the only one to confirm a visit there after much prodding from one starry-eyed and severely over-excited RGT all but slams the door on the poor boy ever having been there per this video...
+One Great Bill : )

I was there, first place I place gun star heroes and the sega channel. I also remember a Nintendo set up with a bike game where you actually had to ride a bike standing in place. It was like the 1st wii fit.
Awesome video Shawn! That's pretty neat that they had that at Epcot.
The original video was deleted =/ Would you mind to post it in your channel RGT?
RGT RGT can't you see, your words just hypnotize me
I love it
RGT 85 well you are subbed to me so im not surprised
*sometimes

I remember something similar but different, when we used to have Sega World in Sydney.
+Nexus nice!

I love iretrogamer ! His videos are great. Did you see the one of a kind Mario anime film I found? It's a crazy week for rare finds
Yeah I remembered that too when I saw the video. I went there in spring of 1995 when my high school choir (I didn't sing but played bass for their backup band) went to Disney World for a competition. Now I remember clearly going to the Innoventions pavilion. It's funny how the brain works, you just need a hint and suddenly you remember clearly.
those old VHS home movies are the best i know people that buy them at flea markets to see if they can find interesting footage like this.
NAZTALGIC check out my friend Tyler's page and has a lot of videos like this
6:11 childhood memories. I paid 3.00 to play this thing. They had a live announcer there and everyone was amazed to see a kid shipping their behinds in this game and act silly completing the race.

I went to innoventions every time I went to Disney World - it's so cool to see this live on in video form.
Hey, new to the channel, love the videos so far, keep up the awesome job!
My buddy and I worked at Disney at the time EPCOT had Sega Game Labs! It was sweet! I worked tours at MGM and he worked the Sega pavilion.
I didn't grow up with SEGA in the 90s, I only came to grow up with them just when they went third party because that's around the time I was allowed to play videogames, but I still love them, their history, etc. So I can relate to your SEGA love even if it's different than how you know them.

Hey RGT 85 awesome video bro really good stuff 👍.
_I Retro Gamer_ 's channel is built around those videos of his incredibly spoiled childhood. Just non-stop recordings of him opening boxes of import games and consoles his dad would buy. I swear his dad was in the mafia or something. Not jealous, just bewildered.
I appreciate you sharing the old Sega greatness with us. :-)
Whoa, dude, I just realized I had experienced this, too! I had TOTALLY forgotten about it. I hung around Virtua Racer the entire time. Haha
In High School I marched the Parade there and one of the best memories was playing my friends on Virtual On arcade. It was a blast!
As soon as I heard you say Sega and Epcot Center, I thought of being 8 yrs old and seeing Michael Jackson's Captain E.O. movie in Disneyworld. The Sega connection in my head was in the Genesis version of Moonwalker on the cemetary stage , they couldn't get the rights to Thriller so they play Just Another Part of Me which was actually played at the end of the Captain E.O. movie.

You know what's crazy, I've been there too...but I came to it in 2000 and 2001, when the Saturn and Dreamcast was there.
I was totally there from 1991~1995 as well and Sonic/Sega was a HUGE thing back then at Epcot/Innovation.
Last time I came to Disney World was in early 1998. I was only 12, but I vividly remember the huge Sonic statue on an Epcot commercial on local Floridian TV. I really wanted to go there, but my father was like 'I didn't paid those tickets to play freaking video games'. So we ended up walking past Innoventions. Seems I missed out. Oh well...

32X came out in fall of 1994, did they have demo units out in the summer of 1994? You mentioned buying yours on sale, so it must have been 1995 after it launched.
i got this disney video that they would periodically send in the mail trying to get you to by a trip there and this footage is on it
I have a photo somewhere of me posing with the Sonic statue in Innovations. The Sega exhibit was there from around the mid 90's till the early 2000's. I visisted it a few times during my childhood. Saw it when it was brand new and when it was close to shutting down. I should try to dig up my photos from there sometime. I was completely geeked the first time I was there and spent a ton of time playing Virtua Fighter on a giant screen arcade machine.
I remember this! I was there! I saw Virtua Fighter for the first time there in Orlando Florida. Ive been looking for this online for ages...
I got to go to Epcot when they were featuring the N64. Those were amazing memories. I remember everyone being blown away by Super Mario 64.
this is the kind of thing that your parents wouldn't let you spend more than 2 minutes looking at...saying something like "we didn't come to Disney world for you to just play video games"
lol my parents were pretty chill, they knew I was into gaming. Hell, they still support me being into gaming at 31
Heck yes. Genesis hype! I hope story time with RGT becomes a standard.
Didn't know this existed. Really cool. Reminds me of the first time I played Virtual Fighter back in 93 on top of the Space Needle in Seattle Washington. Pretty epic. :)
that footage is awesome! I wish I could have seen it in person.
I was there to see that too. I remember they were pushing a lot of VR stuff then. Sega had a VR demo where you hunted eggs in a castle and could shoot other people running around or perhaps bots. It was a massive headset that was suspended from the ceiling and you had to stand in a ring that was about waist height. I didn't play much else though because we had games at home and my family looked at games as just a way to waste time.
our local mall had something similar in early 2000. it was basically an arcade only for sega based arcade games. I think it was called Sega City.
Lucky you, in 1994 all I had that is related to Sega at the time was my Sega Genesis and that one Sonic Tiger LCD game that I bought with my lunch money. I did had a chance to go to Disneyland but never to Disney World.
so funny because im having the exact same flashbacks as you!! i was at epcot in 94 or 95 and now seeing this video i can DISTINCTLY remember playing Sonic CD for the first time and being blown away. The demo had the first level of the game. i also remember seeing a sega pico demo station, which i believe was educational software. cant remember what was running on it but i for sure remember the name and going "huh??" in my brain.
i remember literally nothing else from that disney world trip ... except that the hotel i stayed in on the resort had an Xmen Children of the Atom arcade machine that i played the shit out of.
I just kind of find it weird to forget an entire trip to Disney World. I can still remember going to a much smaller amusement park called Lincon Park back when I was about 5-6. Not meaning this as an insult, after all, anyone can only remember so much.
+Lynxan i did a lot of drugs in high school. Lol
honestly you have to have horrible memory to forget something like that.
A lot of what's there looks like what we had at Sega World Sydney in the 90s.
Played gunstar heroes at innoventions around 1997, funny enough saw two guys that looked exactly like me there at the time. Place is magical.
Very cool dude.
I rememebr going one summer and stepping into the cool air conditioned arcade for what it was, coming off the SNES to see games like clockwork knoght and gex was awesome., those are the memories I have... also Virtual on blew my mind constantly.
Greatest years of gaming.
I had an NES too
but wasn't impressed with my neighbor's Genesis enough to get one besides NES was still pumping out great games.
But the Sonic the Hedgehog theme was catchy and great series
I patiently waited for my SNES and it did not disapoint.
too bad most of Genesis games for me we're ruff looking and had bad sound and controls
but I have one now that I rescued from a childhood friend that was going to throw it away and I'm finding some nice Genesis gems Shinobi is one of my all time favorites especially the arcade version (when i was a kid).
SEGA did have some of the best Arcades out there much respect.
Awesome upload man thank you!!
A lot of people thought Sega vs Nintendo could have gone either way? No, nobody who mattered thought that, and no it absolutely could NOT have gone either way. It truly went the only way it could have except Sega is lucky to continue to exist in any form whatsoever, even as an Atari-style licensing shell -- mainly by way of Nintendo's good graces.
Was in that place in 1995, it was still the same the Saturn had not arrived yet so was May 95. now im sure i have some pictures some where i fondly remember taking a few .
dude this is dope send this to SEGA.they will grasp onto you once they release whatever sega releases.
sega had a presence there for years. I remember playing dreamcast games there and some other sega systems
That was very cool to hear!
Thanks!
Was there an sega world in London to?
I was there too!! I remember my parents wanting to check more of Epcot out and I was thinking, screw that! I just want to stay right here!!
The best reason to go to Epcot at the time. I played panzer dragoon and virtual on for the first time there. It's the reason I ended buying a Saturn. Man I miss my Saturn
I beat the entire first disc of Panzer Dragoon Saga there one year. I missed that place. The Virtua Racing set up was amazing.
Those 90's day's were those glory day's of us born in the late 70's/early 80's and for sega itself.
What a cool rare footage, wich proves again why the 90's were sooo hot!!!
I am so pissed at the fact sega world was closed in australia i wanted to go there you had like those cards you charge up with so much credit and you could go anywhere in the building and swipe and play any games
they also traveled around with carnivals with Cherry Pepsi when it was new doing the same kind of demos for Sega California
Also some of those lit up art displays are amazing in the footage
I saw Sega and WALT Disney World and immediately clicked. I remember playing Kingdom Hearts in Epcot
I played Fighting Vipers here ALL day. Loved this place.
Holy crap! I have been there!!!! I remember going in and playing Virtua On, Toy Story, and so much more!!! Wow what a time capsule!!!
As the AVGN says, 32X + MEGACD = life support to extend its lifespan
Like the Williams Formula 1 Car with that really really cool SEGA Pictures!
I saw the car in Geneva/Genf at the Automobile Salon. Good old times
I was there in June 1995. I do have pictures and I also do recall having a recording there… I should look
How would you forget being there?
Honestly? Did a lot of drugs in high school. There's a video on that. lol
Wouldn't you have been about 3 or 4 years old.
k9feces Getting older sucks. Memory starts laggin. It happens.
Remembering 23 years in the past.
My parents used to drop me and my brother off there while they walked around the world. Loved it! First time I ever played a 3DO too. My dad worked at Disney so I was there a lot.
Nice shirt dude
I remember Sega World London. 4 floor indoor amusement park in downtown London!
Prototype Images of the SatAM Sonic Cartoon at 4:55. Back then, it would air on ABC Saturday Mornings. Sadly, it got bested by Power Rangers. The fact that Bubsy's pilot bombed screwed Video Game Cartoons out of the existence for a time, Still, I'm glad I have EarthWorm Jim.
I'm here specifically for the display of NiGHTS because I can't find it now
I feel this man, it's like being reincarnated at another life but suddenly you remembered what your previous life was like. haha what am I talking about. subbed just because.
dude I forgot I was there also. I was there i think about 97 maybe on a school trip. I have pictures somewhere.
+momoslappy awesome!
I was 14 that year I did some work and bought a 32x to go with my Genesis and Sega CD plugging all that up was a task lol.
