Description: Episode 69 - Nice. On this episode of Let's Read, I'm joined by Coury from My Life in Gaming as we check out the first issue of Sega Visions, from June and July of 1990. Sega Visions was started by Sega of America as a competitor to Nintendo Power, and was an evolution of earlier SoA newsletters. This issue features a lot of awesome Master System and Genesis titles, including The Revenge of Shinobi, Golden Axe, California Games, Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Truxton, Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Ghostbusters, and more! As if anyone doesn't know who Coury is, My Life in Gaming is in my opinion the best retrogaming channel on YouTube. Check it out here: youtube.com/mylifeingaming Big thanks to Coury for joining me for this episode! Show Notes: - This is the first traditional episode of Let's Read to feature a guest, although Coury and I did do a Let's Read in front of a live audience at Retro World Expo 2019. - Be sure to stick around after the end credits for some bonus material, including a special cameo appearance! - Footage for this episode was recorded on real hardware, a Mega SG, and a MiSTer. Just depends on the game. I already had a lot of the footage on-hand, because the games were already covered on previous episodes. - My second camera (the one pointed at me) stopped recording part way through the process, and it took me probably 30 mins to notice. I tried to add enough of aa variety of visual material there so that it isn't too noticeable. The footage is also soft because I had the lens opened up to its maximum aperture, whereas I usually back it off by 2 stops. - Almost all of the information and box art used in this episode came from SegaRetro.org which should be anyone's one-stop shop for Sega knowledge. - The intro for this video is more in-line with other recent releases on the channel. I think it looks a little bit nicer than the simple ones that I was doing for previous episodes of Let's Read, and it also hopefully sucks in the viewer a little bit more.
