Sega Mega Drive / Genesis: Collected Works is the ultimate retrospective of the console, featuring development and concept illustrations for Sega's best-loved game franchises, original developer interviews and previously unseen hardware production plans. Much of the visual material - drawn from the Sega of Japan archives - has never been released before. Alongside the illustrated history is 'Arcade Perfect', a written history of the console and its legacy by Guardian Games Editor Keith Stuart, which features the voices of Sega executives and industry luminaries - including the company's founder David Rosen, its president Hayao Nakayama, Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske and many more. The book opens with a foreword by legendary developer David Perry, on the console that catalysed his career. Concluding the book are 28 specially-conducted interviews with original Sega developers and team members, including Naoto Ohshima (Sonic The Hedgehog), Yu Suzuki (Space Harrier), Greg Johnson & Mark Voorsanger (ToeJam & Earl), Makoto Uchida (Golden Axe) and Yuji Naka (Sonic The Hedgehog). New to this expanded edition are a raft of newly discovered box art paintings, including Alien Soldier, Kid Chameleon, The Super Shinobi II, Sonic The Hedgehog, Phantasy Star: The End of the Millennium and many more. Also new to the book are the original design documents for iconic brawler Streets of Rage 2 / Bare Knuckle II and Treasure's unique platformer Dynamite Headdy, both translated from the original Japanese.
