The SEGA Technical Institute

TCW Podcast Episode 176 - The SEGA Technical Institute   SEGA has had a long history of mixing the west and Japanese ideas. To that end, we look at the SEGA Technical Institute or STI. A project to blend the best of Japanese and American developers to create unique games with worldwide appeal. Many talented people worked for STI, and this blending was realized with the release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. However, success was short-lived as interpersonal issues with the staff lead to a fracturing of the team. Each side put out interesting product, but nothing quite like the success of Sonic.   Marble Madness: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzlA1JTPMto Captain EO (1986): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy8w2xRpIIg SEGA Scope 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYUBSV6u0Z8 SEGA Scope 3D Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMoMbXZCbT4 Shinobi Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFlTWKccFLg Dick Tracey Movie Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4rzqSsqaqA Dick Tracey Mega Drive/Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6e5qK7sGPQ Phantasy Star: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3P-3GsiRIw Ghouls 'n Ghosts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsMiyr9M6lM Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Bonus Stages: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg6cIOsVojg STUN Runner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6CPtjyr19M Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Genesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cr1rqVcIhA Castle of Illusion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eueZcpay-lQ Sonic Spinball: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzPpRPDRQvA Casino Night Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmdseeZBiz4 SEGA SVP Chip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZHFbLfvb8w Pinball Drams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UNGMiPETXo Comix Zone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS-F0UFezFA A-ha - Take On Me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914 The Ooze: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoIXkIgiyuc Nights Into Dreams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkXKYJ0SBl4 Die Hard Arcade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkVdJXolW_0     Other episodes on SEGA!===================== TCW 005 - The Untold History of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-untold-history-of-sega/ TCW 033 - The Saga of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-saga-of-sega/TCW 068 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 1: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-1/ TCW 069 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 2: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-2/ TCW 070 - SEGA VS Nintendo Round 3: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/sega-vs-nintendo-round-3/TCW 088 - Gotta Go Fast!: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/gotta-go-fast-1555215841/ TCW 127 - Dreams of SEGA: http://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/dreams-of-sega/   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: [email protected]  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.
