Title says it all. But here's a thousand more words just to say it more elaborately. Everything from Sega is way more fun as a retro gamer to collect for than any other game company. It's true, and if you don't already agree, or if you do and you just need to hear someone else corroborate your opinion, then here's why:
What do retro game collectors like to collect? Whatever's plentiful, pretty much. The more obscure or notable, the better. What did Sega produce all of its life? Tons of shit. Consoles, add-ons, accessories, games... Just a buttload of everything they could think of, all of it interesting in some way.
Sega embraced the cutting edge. This started with the arcades, particularly in the late 80s with games like Hang-On and Out Run, which not only used state-of-the-art sprite-scaling hardware but featured super-sized cabinet systems with ridable vehicles that moved and interacted with the game. Later when it came to 3D, they scaled multi-million dollar aerospace simulator parts down to
consumer-level arcade systems, and eventually the Sega Saturn. They were among the first fully-featured 3D consumer graphics in the industry. Unquestionably Sega was always on the cusp of innovation.
