Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Ultimate Works | Keith Stuart & David Perry

Ultimate Works is the official retrospective of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, the world-conquering '90s videogame console. Featuring original box artworks, concept illustrations, pixel graphics and a complete guide to first-party hardware, this is a comprehensive archive of the era that saw Sega bring the arcade experience into the home.

A rich resource for gamers and creatives alike, Ultimate Works explores how groundbreaking games such as Sonic The Hedgehog, Streets of Rage and Gunstar Heroes were created via in-depth interviews with their developers, along with illuminating design documents translated from the original Japanese. The book also shines a spotlight on the people responsible for the console's phenomenal success, from Sega executives and industry luminaries - such as the company's founder David Rosen, its president Hayao Nakayama and Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske - to developers, artists and programmers including Yu Suzuki (Space Harrier), Yuji Naka (Sonic The Hedgehog), Greg Johnson and Mark Voorsanger (ToeJam & Earl), Makoto Uchida (Golden Axe) and Naoto Ohshima (Sonic The Hedgehog).

An exhaustive guide to the Mega Drive/Genesis' game library, hardware, key creatives and brand trailblazers, Ultimate Works is the essential companion for anyone interested in how the iconic console came to be.
