From its humble beginnings in 1918 as a manufacturer of coin-operated mechanical games, Sega has evolved into a global gaming giant, responsible for some of the most beloved video games and pinball machines in history.
Sega's consoles have played a pivotal role in shaping the gaming landscape. The Sega Master System, Genesis, and Dreamcast left an indelible mark on the industry, introducing countless classic games that continue to be enjoyed by gamers worldwide.

Sega has consistently pushed the boundaries of innovation in gaming. They were the first to introduce 16-bit graphics with the Genesis, and they pioneered the use of 3D polygons in console games with the Saturn. Sega's commitment to creativity has resulted in a wealth of unique and groundbreaking titles.
Sega continues to develop and publish games for various platforms, including mobile, PC, and consoles. The company also operates amusement arcades worldwide, providing a nostalgic gaming experience for fans of all ages.
