The Sega Arcade Revolution: A History In 62 Games

While it doesn’t cover Sega’s entire history, Ken Horowitz’s book does do a very good job of focusing on its arcade success and failures. It offers a great examination of Sega’s early beginnings, including its relationship with companies such as Gremlin and delves deep into some of its most important and influential games, including Space Harrier, Outrun and The House Of The Dead. Although there’s a focus on using existing interviews (including many from Retro Gamer) it nevertheless does a fantastic job of painting a scene of just how successful Sega used to be in a challenging market. An essential read. Price: £38.50 (£13.07 Kindle) From: amazon.co.uk
