The player is loading ...

30 years ago, SEGA's 32-bit machine, the Saturn, launched in Japan. Three decades later, Ravsieg and The SEGAGuys - Dan 'The Mega' Driver, and James 'The SEGAHolic' - try to educate KC on the importance of the console back then and its relevancy today, all the while pitching a new Fighters Megamix game and deciding on a 5-game starter pack for new fans of the system.

James "The SegaHolic" McGhie

Podcaster/YouTuber

James became a SEGA fan in the mid 90’s through a dual-combo of Virtua Fighter in the arcade and the PAL launch of the SEGA Saturn. These days he's the co-host of The SEGAGuys RetroPod alongside Dan “The Mega” Driver, and you can usually find him playing SEGA Rally trying to shave milliseconds off his best times.
His favorite SEGA games, given his arcade “roots” are the arcade ports, primarily on the SEGA Saturn and to this day he still thinks Virtua Fighter 2 on the Saturn is the peak of gaming engineering.
