CIRCLE WITH A DOT

Did you know that #SEGA released a console after Dreamcast? The Sega Advanced Pico Beena was released in by Sega Toys in 2005, and only in Japan. #retrogaming

@SuperSelena64 Well, at least it's not one per tail.

@Bogusmeatfactory Online console gaming in 1996 (or did the Net Link games come in 97?). It was awesome.

@Bogusmeatfactory Sega Saturn is my very favorite console. I also grew up with it and the Net Link modem! It was my entire Internet until 1999 when my family final got me a PC for my 17th Christmas.
Enemy Zero is fascinating because it's the first time a Western classical composer fully scored a game soundtrack.
And Michael Nyman, the composer, is very good.

@hobbs "panned" means it wasn't well liked by critics.
I had a hard time with some of my choices too.

On the Retro Gaming Network Discord server (an excellent server, by the way) this graphic was posted. I thought I'd share it here as well in case anyone else wants to share.

@SuperSelena64 Call me devil-man.

In 2007 I opened a Photobucket account. They emailed me today to remind me that I have over 60 images stored there. "That's nice," I thought. So, I login for the first time in who knows how long, and they need $5 for me to access my own possessions. Disgusting.

It's Blaze the Cat!

@ewhac I wish I had more room. Because I do agree.

Kind of surprised that Namco (Pac-Man, SoulCalibur) is performing so poorly!

@indecisive_andre they made arcades?

@petitevieille Sega is a favorite too. I wanted to include Taito, Konami, and SNK as well, but was space limited.

@ruedi I love Pac-Man too! (That is a Namco game). The question is asking which company comes to mind. I see how it could also be read as which game!

@nazokiyoubinbou If I had more room, I also wanted to include them, Konami, and Taito as well.

When you think "legendary arcade company, what name comes to mind first?
