    • Quotes

      Paul Rioux: Whenever you're at war, you always hit the guy in the mouth as hard as you can. If you can't hit him hard, you might as well not even fight. That's the attitude in real war and it's the attitude in business. You've gotta be prepared to take on the competition and win.

    The Story of Sega
    This should have been titled The Story of Sega. Its basically the history of Sega from its beginning going up against Nintendo and its ending with Sony.
