Sega Visions #1 - June/July 1990 w/ Coury from MLiG!
46,779
Published 2020-07-07
This issue features a lot of awesome Master System and Genesis titles, including The Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, California Games, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Truxton, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Ghostbusters, and more!
As if anyone doesn't know who Coury is, My Life in Gaming is in my opinion the best retrogaming channel on YouTube. Check it out here: youtube.com/mylifeingaming Big thanks to Coury for joining me for this episode!
Show Notes:
- This is the first traditional episode of Let's Read to feature a guest, although Coury and I did do a Let's Read in front of a live audience at Retro World Expo 2019.
- Be sure to stick around after the end credits for some bonus material, including a special cameo appearance!
- Footage for this episode was recorded on real hardware, a Mega SG, and a MiSTer. Just depends on the game. I already had a lot of the footage on-hand, because the games were already covered on previous episodes.
- My second camera (the one pointed at me) stopped recording part way through the process, and it took me probably 30 mins to notice. I tried to add enough of aa variety of visual material there so that it isn't too noticeable. The footage is also soft because I had the lens opened up to its maximum aperture, whereas I usually back it off by 2 stops.
- Almost all of the information and box art used in this episode came from SegaRetro.org which should be anyone's one-stop shop for Sega knowledge.
- The intro for this video is more in-line with other recent releases on the channel. I think it looks a little bit nicer than the simple ones that I was doing for previous episodes of Let's Read, and it also hopefully sucks in the viewer a little bit more.

Be sure to stick around until the end of the video (after the credits) for some bonus content, including a special cameo appearance! As if anyone doesn't know who Coury is, My Life in Gaming is in my opinion the best retrogaming channel on YouTube. Check it out here: youtube.com/mylifeingaming Big thanks to Coury for joining me for this episode! Lastly, ICYMI I just uploaded a pretty lengthy video all about the Astro City cabinet you see in the background of this video. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn8-Q7f-MqM

Yep. That's exactly where I got my After Burner poster. And Power Strike.

Wow! The best “Let’s Read” ever!! Cory and you have such great chemistry doing these type of videos, please do more!

At 25:12 you’re talking about me that you say ‘sucking up to SEGA’! You missed the important point to realise that SEGA Visions was a North American magazine by SEGA of America. This publication never came to Australia however this Aussie was able to get his name in it! SEGA Fan for life, yep that’s me! I’d written to SEGA of America as their address was located at the bottom of the Genesis advertisements in EGM. I recall writing to SEGA as I was a Master System owner and excited for the Mega Drive and was hoping to know when it would be released in Australia. They did edit my letter but I didn’t care too much. Who would have thought 30 years later I’d be reminded of my letter to SEGA! Thanks guys!

I still have all my Sega Visions. Haven't looked at these on forever. Wish I kept all my Gamepros!

My buddy had a subscription to this and I had Nintendo power. We would share the magazines. Thanks for this great episode and memories.

Sega Visions was a free magazine. My brother and I both had a subscription to it back in the day, and I still have all my copies.
-
Damn, I remember buying this issue as a kid, and I remember when I threw it away with all my other gaming mags in the late 90s. I truly regret not keeping all of them
-
I'm TOTALLY cool w/ you two or another guest doing a Let's Read again. It's good to hear about other's experiences w/ Retro consoles and games growing up. Great Episode!

I had Nintendo power and Sega visions. This brings back alot of good memories of taking these magazines to school and looking at games we wanted with my friends.

i remember december 31 1989, people were for sure sad the 80s were ending. It was bittersweet. Holy crap how the time has flown.
-
Oh, I've been reading old issues of gaming magazines this summer and recently came across the Game Doctor's column when he came to EGM.
-
Really great episode. I had this issue as kid, and loved all of the anecdotal commentary.
