On March 29th 2001, just two days before the discontinuation of the SEGA Dreamcast, SEGAGAGA was released in Japan. The game was described as a "SEGA Simulation", allowing players to take control of the company and save it from the "evil DOGMA Corp" (aka Sony), who had 97% of the console market.
In this episode, James & Dan travel back to the 1990s and inspired by SEGAGAGA, detail their 13 point plan that could save SEGA:
1. Don't kill the Saturn so soon.
2. Launch Dreamcast alongside PS2.
3. DVD support.
4. Ditch the modem.
5. EA platform sport exclusivity.
6. Retain the Saturn 3D controller.
7. Marketing (show in-game footage).
8. Don’t use advertising budget on sponsoring football teams.
9. Grand Theft Auto 3.
10. Better Model 3 ports (Scud Race, Daytona USA 2, etc).
11. Premium & Standard SKU's.
12. Downloadable Mega Drive/Master System Games + revive classic franchises.
13. Don't give up!
