[AdamMT1618]

Anyone remember the Sega Channel?

I thought it was cool for the time.

 

[Ricochet]

Nope. I watch the Bat Channel.

 

[MoPHo]

yes. i loved it. played Gunstar Heroes 24/7

 

[MrCodeDude]

I had it for two months. I liked it

Yeah that was such a cool concept. They had this game, Skitchen [?], that was a road rash rip-off, except instead of a bike you were on a skateboard... it was cool. I've tried to find that game for my xbox, but apparently it was exclusive to the sega channel.

Skitchin was on rollerblades i thought....and I dont think it was sega channel exclusive, my buddy had the cartridge for genesis.

damn I loved Sega Channel. I used to wake up like 3 hours before school started just to play when they updated at the beginning of the month (I think that's when it was).

Could you play online with the Sega Channel??

I know that you could play online on the Genesis and SNES with the X-band modem service.

Sega Channel was the only way those in the US could play Mega Man: Wily Wars (compilation of the first 3 NES Mega Man games.

The Sega channel so cool back in the day. I've got fond memories of that. That was a pretty cool concept, now that I come to think about it.

It depends on how you define it. There were modems for the Atari 2600 even, so consoles had been able to communicate remotely for some time, but the Sega Channel was really the first integrated online console service(and I say service because it was designed around game delivery, not multiplayer gaming). The Dreamcast service was the first complete service in turn that included full multiplayer capabilities. Xbox Live will go down as the first truly popular and fully polished setup however.

Yeah Skitchin was on rollerblades and there was a cartridge out for it as I used to own it.
