The One Company That Gave Sega a Chance

[@josephfrye7342]

I think ea cared back then but now ea is a god damn mess

[@JimblesNotronbo]

That seems to be the case for a lot of the evil megatitans of gaming these days, namely Activision. They were founded by ex-atari employees who were tired of the culture at atari and wanted credit for their work! The irony is truly astounding.

[@pojr]

Yeah they've definitely changed since their early years.

[@TRJ2241987]

When I was a very young kid, Electronic Arts was actually my favorite company. My favorite videogame, to this day one of my favorite of all time, was 'Demon Stalkers' for the Commodore 64. And Bulls vs Blazers for the SNES, along with Zelda, was my first Nintendo game ever. Back in those days the games were made by very small teams of people who were passionate about what they were doing. Nothing like the company they would go on to be by the 2000s

[@BrockMace-y3c]

I miss the early 2000’s. Madden 2003 and Fight Night Round 2 are my favorite sports games on the PS2.

[@Aivottaja]

Became too big. Happened to Blizzard and Rockstar too. And even Sega is getting greedy with the worrying decision to put New Game+ behind a paywall in Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.

[@fjr4997]

One of EAs games, Lakers Vs Celtics and the NBA Finals. Great game. People forget that Genesis became a hub for sports games. You would see it at parties with NHL or NBA games in the late 90s. It was cool, a grown up console for young adults. It really opened up gaming demographics and of course, PSOne took it to another level.

[@pojr]

True. The Genesis was known for its great lineup of sports games.

[@ostiariusalpha]

Sports were an absolute mainstay pillar of Sega's brand. And then ol' Sony came along with a big bag of cash and snatched all those licenses right out of Sega's hands; while seducing EA away too. 😅

Populous was more of a "God Sim" where you flattened land TBH ^-^ ... But yeah, EA provided Sega with some excellent games back then.

[@jarvindriftwood]

Even back then, EA was repurposing the same games. Skitchin' was based on Road Rash's engine in a game where you race on inline skates and hang on the back of cars to gain speed. There were also Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey which repurposed the Madden '93 and NHL '93 engines respectively. They're all fun games with enough changes to make them unique.

[@KeithPhillips]

EA games on Genesis were generally some really quality stuff! One thing I forgot though was that some of the cartridges didn't work on the later models of the Genesis (when the TMSS stuff came in to play.) I "rediscovered" this when I got a model 2 Genesis a few years ago. I bought a few copies of Populous, thinking there was something wrong with them, before I remembered this! 😂 Populous, Budokan and Zany Golf were 3 titles that I knew wouldn't work on the later consoles.

[@pojr]

You're right. When doing research on the video, I originally didn't see any proof that there were unlicensed versions of EA games. However, I recently found that there are two Zany Golf ROMs, one that doesn't work on TMSS consoles, and one that does. So that tells me there are unlicensed versions.

[@BenHughes81]

It's a little ironic that Electric Arts wanted their games on the Genesis/Mega Drive so badly, but refused to support the Dreamcast, especially with being Sega systems. My guess is different people in leadership positions at the two different times.

[@VOAN]

It had something to do with Sega acquiring 2K Games studio, 2K Games at the time are known for their superior sports titles and their NFL license are considered 5x better than EA's own Madden NFL series. This is why EA are so butt-hurt during the Dreamcast era that they threaten Sega that if Sega goes through with acquiring 2K Games for the Dreamcast then EA will not support the Dreamcast when it launch as they don't want to share the NFL license on the same platform as 2K Games. Sega went through anyways and EA left the Dreamcast in the dust. Not sure why they had issue with just 2K Games when Midway (known for their fun arcadey NFL Blitz series) also had the NFL license at the time too.

[@pojr]

Yeah it's a big contrast. Weird how companies evolve and relationships change.

An excellent company business policy review! Great video! I wonder what happened to allow Castlevania Bloodlines (Konami) to appear on the Genesis? I think that game came out in '94, so perhaps Konami finally ripped up their Nintendo contract. Anyway, Great work!

[@Helladamnleet]

Sports and arcade ports were what Sega really shined on. Not to say it didn't have a few good RPGs and other genres, but I always loved Sega because of the arcady feel. That's why the Dreamcast was really the best note to step out on for them. It was a near 1:1 arcade experience so they kind of achieved the original goal of home consoles.

[@Dwedit]

Notably, *none* of EA's Genesis games display any SEGA logo at all, making them unlike every other Genesis game.

[@Dwedit]

Zany Golf was pretty much a port of the other versions of the game, having the exact same physics, frame rate, color palette, and graphics as the Apple II GS, Amiga, and Atari ST versions of the game. It did not take advantage of the Genesis's graphical capabilities in any meaningful way. In terms of which version of the game is the best: Apple II GS (best), Amiga, Genesis, Atari ST, IBM PC (worst). Apple II GS version has the best music, while the IBM PC version has the ugly 16-color EGA palette and simple PC speaker beeps for music.

8:30 Speaking of Road Rash, what happened to that series? I feel like Road Rash 64 was the last one.

[@taionalmeida5337]

I Believe EA took The chance to bring a Lot Of the British and european game scene (based mostly on computers) to the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. I guess Amiga hardware and Genesis were pretty likely so a Lot Of these games started as computer games (maybe The Zany golf half assed frame rate was a mark Of a less than stellar optimization Of a computer game). Looking to what EA become nowdays these begginings are nostalgic view. They publish a Lot Of stuff, mostly with quality, and even to the niche they keep till this Day (Sports games) they bring some interesting inovations. Single player Adventures, couch co-op games, Sports blast nights ... These where The days ...

[@aleksazunjic9672]

Well, main processor on Genesis, Amiga 500 and Atari ST was Motorola 68000. Thus technically, machine code was compatible between those 3 machines. But alas, compatibility ended there as all three of them had different way of processing graphics and music. Considering that all 3 companies were becoming underdogs in late 80s and early 90s, one might wonder what would happen if they somehow combined their strength to have more interchangeable software.

[@jackofallgamesTV]

I think there were literally 2 third parties for Master System games, Parker Bros, and Activision. Also the 7800 only had a few third parties. Like Absolute, Froggo. Maybe a video on these other third parties who went Sega or Atari.

[@ostiariusalpha]

Also, Tecmo brought the arcade version of Rygar/Argos no Senshi over to the Master System as Argos no Jūjiken, under the thin guise of Salio Inc., back in 1988.

[@pojr]

That's actually a great idea for a video, never thought about that! Thank you!

[@KeithPhillips]

In regard to lockout measures for Atari, I heard a cool one from David Crane (if I recall) where they designed their cartridges in such a way that would make it impossible for Atari to redesign the 2600 to prevent Activision carts from working...without making Atari's own cartridges not working 😂

[@Goldnfoxx]

That might explain how Starflight wound up with a Genesis port. The original PC version is my undisputed favorite game, and the Genesis port was...fine(?)...but it just always seemed like a weird fit for a console port.

[@dilbertfish]

@GoldenfoxxPrime I still enjoyed it.

[@scottythegreat1]

Nintendo had the market share. They acted like it was a monopoly and the Genesis hurt them quite a bit. American publishers were more willing to go with Sega mostly because their censorship rules were easier (but no porn games), and publishers weren't tied to exclusively releasing games for Sega. Eventually, Sega had to give in to EA (and later Accolade) just because there was little they could do about it. They tried suing Accolade, but settled out of court and they got a similar deal. Acclaim started releasing games for both systems. This started Nintendo's fall from the top.

Sega definitively took The right decision saying "Sorry EA, no". However a Lot Of people Think this COULD have changed The destiny Of DC, truth be Said, EA would not LOCK their Sports games on a single plataform, specially when the PS2 started to make waves with Its bombastic sales.

[@G.L.999]

Sega's cartridge production policies weren't really all that different from Nintendo's actually. But like you said in the video, Sega needed all the help they could get back then. Not to mention that EA already had extensive experience making games for the Amiga and Atari ST home computers; all of which had the motorola 68000 processor. A hardware CPU EA had extensive experience in making games with. And when EA's Trip Hawkins, Bing Gordon, Jim Nitchals, Steve Hayes, and Nancy Fong found out the Genesis/Mega-Drive would contain that same motorola 68000 processor, that's when they knew they had an ace up their sleeves!

Atari didn't really give third party companies too much freedom. The just didn't expect third parties to make games for their platform.

I loved Electronic Arts back in the day. For both console and PC games. I absolutely considered them a trusted brand that was generally putting out really good product. They also had a great selection of genres and types of games to choose from. Legends like Alternate Reality The City, Kings of the Beach, Budokan: The Martial Spirit, Might and Magic II, Risky Woods, Ultrabots, Syndicate, Blades of Vengeance, Need for Speed, Magic Carpet, NBA Live 98, NHL 98, Medal of Honor. I can’t even remember ever being disappointed until oh yeah 1998. That overhyped game that flooded magazines with the most incredible screenshots you ever saw in your entire life. Jurassic Park Trespasser. My new decked out PC could run anything. Trespasser ran terribly. It had elements like Half Life and was ahead of its time. But it was a horrible game. There were still plenty of great games being put out after. I think after Sims came out I lost interest. Now I avoid Electronic Arts like the plague. Terrible games, terrible launcher. What a tragedy they have become!

[@litjellyfish]

Si basically what SEGA got different. They could produce the carts themselves to reduce costs / cut out the middleman there. And also do not need to get the games approved by SEGA. Rest was the same rules as for anyone else

That was a big deal. The madden versions on super Nintendo were horrible...at least the early ones.

EA is probably the only company that could have done this almost every other company that would have tried to do this legitimately and legally would have collapsed especially publishing on both Sega and Nintendo consoles

[@litjellyfish]

Also as presented here it seems like SEGA and Nintendo have an “evil” requirement that publishers need to pay for the manufacturing themselves. Of course not. It’s totally normal and exactly how it works today. Only thing was that the cost was a lot higher = higher risk for the publishers. But hey you can’t put the cost of cart hardware on SEGA, Nintendo.

Actually the flooding of games in Atari was the birth of gaming media. In the first year reviews of games and such did not exist. But with the need to know if a game was good or bad magazines arose. So well pretty much the same situation as today. So no I don’t think the flood of games was the core of the crash. Problem was publishers over estimating the sales, shitty games (that people know was shitty as we read the reviews back then) and that arcade games became more advanced at we say that games in personal computers was better (and cheaper) than in the Atari console

NES was reverse engineered, thus many games appeared that were not approved by Nintendo. But Nintendo took legal measures, i.e. sued stores that were selling them etc ...

EA was great for this genesis only owner. There was no way I as going to buy a second console rather than a bunch of games for the console I already had. I spent so many hours playing Madden and NHL Hockey on the genesis. Might and Magic 2 and Populous were other great titles by EA.

[@ShanetheFreestyler]

I'd say back then, EA actually were the _good guys_ in a sense. They may have went behind SEGA's back to reverse engineer the Genesis, but that allowed them to get a better deal. Something like this would've never worked against Nintendo at the time because of how big they were. While understandably Nintendo didn't want to make the same mistakes Atari did, not allowing third-party cartridges did meant that some Famicom games couldn't have been brought to NES without being reprogrammed to Nintendo's own mappers if at all. EA not having to worry about that for the Genesis meant they could use whatever cart they needed. Shame nowadays EA is one of the worst video game studios in the industry, but it's like Harvey Dent said in The Dark Knight, "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become a villain." As for Road Rash, that's definitely one of my favorite EA franchises of all time! (Although it wasn't until Road Rash on PS1 that I was introduced to the series.) One of my favorite parts about most Road Rash games, besides the combat, is the fact you don't respawn on your bike after a wreck, (except in RR64 where you do, and Jailbreak where you can by pressing △), and actually have to run back to your bike! Not only that, but you also don't need to be on your bike in order to cross the finish line! Sometimes, it's better to hoof it than to get your bike back. For example, you get thrown off just feet before the finish, it might take less time to run there instead of getting back to your bike. Also, if your bike is totaled, you're only declared "wrecked" if you return to your bike, unless it fell into some water; in that case, just run! It's highly likely you might get busted, but the ticket is always cheaper than the repair, which is somehow always free if you finish a race without wrecking! (Yay for video game logic!) One more bit of Trivia: Lotus Turbo Challenge on the Genesis is actually a port of Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 on the Amiga, and Lotus II: RECS is a port of Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge. Top Gear, (no relation to the BBC series of the same name), released on the SNES on the same year as Lotus II/III, is the spiritual successor to the Lotus series, being produced by the same developers and featuring a similar engine. Unfortunately, there was no track editor this time. Oh, and Top Gear itself would get a spiritual successor in Horizon Chase, this time by different devs, but featuring Barry Leitch returning as composer, providing remixes of Top Gear music tracks for the game.

[@KoopaMedia64]

I'd love to see this channel attempt a video at determining the actual facts about the infamous Nintendo exclusivity contract. The common narrative is "Nintendo barred 3rd parties from making any games for other systems", but is this true? There actually were some licensed NES 3rd party companies that made games for the Atari 2600, 7800, SMS and others, companies such as Activision, Parker Bros and Absolute Entertainment. Could it be that Nintendo just had exclusivity on specific games and not the 3rd party devs themselves? There is the boring business reason that the 7800 and SMS were just not selling enough to entice much 3rd party development. It was an investment to learn a competing system and risk selling games for them. Nintendo was a very safe bet given the huge system sales.

EA really did wonders on the Genesis. It's kinda of a shame it never quite delived up to the same par on SNES most of the time. You could always tell its SNES versions of games were really just downgraded Genesis titles that never fully took proper advantage of the specific capabilties there. But there were definitely some EA bangers on Genesis. Road Rash is one of their titles where it would be interesting to see what could be achieved on SNES if pushed fully. Those apparently scaling sprites probably would have been impossible on SNES, I think, but I'm confident the rest could have looked, sounded and controlled even better if handled properly.

[@juststatedtheobvious9633]

Plenty of games faked sprite scaling. If Road Rash worked on 8-bit, how was SNES a bridge too far? The question is whether it would sell enough copies to be worthwhile?

[@inceptional]

@@juststatedtheobvious9633Well, I think it could do a decent job, but I think the thing with the scaling there is that it looks like actual smooth and possibly real sprite scaling on Genesis, whereas on SNES I expect it would just be a bunch of frames. Although, with enough ROM space and good management of VRAM, it's possible those could look pretty much as smooth as real sprite scaling anyway. It might even be that's what Genesis is already doing for all know, as it definitely doesn't have built-in sprite scaling. But, either way, I'd have been interested in seeing a SNES version that pushed the system across the board. If it had come out back in the day and actually met the kind of top tier Nintendo/Rare quality and polish standards, I expect it would have been very well received.

@@inceptional Genesis is doing real sprite scaling in software; it's why the frame rate's... interesting. The real issue is the impact of faking scaling on ROM size, if you're trying to provide a high quality alternative. It's probably better to just eat the cost of an extra processor in the cart itself. But doing either option early in the SNES lifecycle? Unfortunately, by the time this wasn't financial suicide, it made even less sense to compete with their own CD based 32-bit game.
