In the 80s and 90s SEGA was an excellent company with the release of countless consoles and fantastic games like the Mega Drive and Game Gear. After that, it has suffered tremendously under the pressure of Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft. Now it no longer enjoys a position in the console gaming world, and rather makes games for the competition's systems. Now, it is trying to expand into a new project, the online casual gaming world. There is already a beta version of the package out called Play Sega. This new casual gaming portal has all sorts of different game types such as mahjong games, Sport Games, Puzzle Games, Action Games.
Most games including mahjong connect, Soccer Maniacs and other common games will be available at no cost, but their classic Sega titles like Sonic the Hedgehog, Ecco the Dolphin and some others will only be available to VIP members. The drawback to this is that to become a VIP user and play these games you need to pay. This could prove to be a problem as you can get these games for the same price online on XBOX Live and other tools where you can actually play with a gaming controller and on a TV as it was designed instead of playing on a computer screen with your keyboard but only time will show.
The upside of this, is that you and your friends will be able to join and compete with one another for rings. Rings will be what you have to get highscores. For example if you are playing mahjong online and you beat your friends you will earn extra rings. These rings will then be displayed in the standings and the user with the most rings is the champion. This will offer a form of social networking interest that will hopefully be part of the formula that will render the system a success.
The variety of titles should also be a big drive to attract older players into the website. Games which are now very tricky to get a hold off will be easily available. Just time will tell how successful the new site will be, but we will be watching it.
