Sega's Game Archive

Jeff Coe tips us to news that a group of Sega employees recently stumbled upon a storage room in the company's product development department that contains just about every piece of hardware and software Sega has ever released. They were also kind enough to snap some photos and share them. "We asked around about how the room came together and couldn't get a straight answer. Some had said our old legal department had run the archive and given it up to someone else to manage. Others said that the legal archive still exists in another room in the office, and this was pulled together over time from producers and product managers. We don't know the exact how or why, but we love that it exists and immediately accessible."

Yeah, the website was being served up by a Sega TeraDrive. So, more than one user and it starts getting a minor case of burning uncontrollably.

So let me get this right, there was an unmarked door in Sega's office that everyone had forgotten about but really contained every game ever made by Sega?

You are correct of course... also note the lack of dust. The "forgotten" room has less dust than my bedroom (not that that is saying much)
