Tom's Letter to Fans from Sega Force Winter 1992 Dear Friends and Sega Gamers: As a video gamer, I'm sure you're very aware of the exciting period that our industry is currently experiencing. This size of the game playing market has increased dramatically over the past years and as newcomers enter into the market, existing gamers continue to search for new technologies which provide them with the very best in video game systems and games. Sega is a company who's heritage of leadership dwells upon our "Commitment to Excellence". It's our commitment to providing you, our customers, with the finest in a complete line of video game systems and games in every category. Sega Genesis, the new Sega Game Gear, and Sega Master System II. Truly, Sega Does It All . . . And Sega Does It Better! For 16-bit action, nothing beats Sega Genesis. Since 1989, Genesis has been the leader and number one best seller in 16-bit systems. We are very pleased that 80% of all 16- bit game players have chosen Genesis. Genesis software is known for it's superior graphics and challenging game play. This year is no exception with the introduction of Sonic The Hedgehog - the fastest video game character ever; and other new games like ToeJam & Earl, Quackshot, Fantasia, Spider- Man, and Mario LeMieux Hockey. Genesis truly leads the 16- Bit Video Game Revolution. Sega's new Game Gear, Japan's hottest selling color portable video game system, became available in the U.S. earlier this year. With a sharper picture than any portable screen in it's price range, Game Gear titles feature arcade blockbusters like Shinobi, Super Monaco GP and G-LOC; great sports titles like Joe Montana Football coming this Fall; and challenging adventure games like Dragon Crystal and Revenge of Drancon. If it's 8-bit you're into, you can't do better than the lower priced Sega Master System. A longtime leader in 8-bit graphics and gameplay, the redesigned Sega Master System II makes the best 8-bit system around even better. Its current library of hits is still growing with new titles like Strider, Spider-Man, and Golden Axe Warrior available this year. All Master System titles can be played on Genesis with the Power Base Converter. Yes, it's an exciting time in video gaming and Sega is a primary source of that excitement. We at Sega are thrilled to have you on the Sega team and look forward to providing you with hour after hour of video gaming enjoyment in the months to come. Sincerely, Thomas J. Kalinske
