| Segagaga (Video Game) | comment |
The year is 2025. Sega only has 3% of the market share left. The other 97% of the video game market is taken up by DOGMA. As the last stand against DOGMA's threat of a total monopoly, Sega launches Project Segagaga as a last ditch effort: Find somebody on the street who will be able to reclaim Sega's lost territory in the market and bring proper competition back to the industry. One of these people is a teenager appropriately named Taro Sega.Released for the Sega Dreamcast in 2001, Segagaga is a parody of the brief and rather one-sided rivalry between the Dreamcast and the PlayStation 2. While it's, at its core, an RPG and game company simulator, everything else about it is wacky and zany. Your grunt-level programmers resemble Moai statues and fuzzy monsters, the characters are real and do double-duty acting in the games and working for the company (with a few exceptions), and every game that Sega under Taro's leadership develops and publishes pokes fun at some other game on the market, such as Dalai Lama.As the game goes on, DOGMA recognizes Sega as a financial threat, eventually taking the battle into space. That's the sort of game this is. | |

Abandoned Mascot | |
| Segagaga (Video Game) / int_2e49c238 | comment |
Abandoned Mascot: The game features a rather poignant monologue by Alex Kidd, where he tells us about how he ended up as a store clerk: His ill-fated stint as Sega's mascot came to an end after his games weren't as popular as the company hoped, and his replacement Sonic the Hedgehog proved to be superior to him in every way. Despite all this, he manages to be motivational and positive about all of it, inspiring Taro to never give up and not holding any resentment for Sonic becoming a successful mascot. | |

Time Marches On | |
| Segagaga (Video Game) / int_397569de | comment |
Time Marches On: Sega lost that 3% of the market share of game consoles not long after this game came out, let alone in 2025. On the other hand, Sega now has a share of game software market much greater than 3%, which is the focus of the game. One can only wait and see how Sega will do in 2025, assuming it survives until then. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Segagaga (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Daniel from The Karate Kid shows up for some reason. The final act of the game is a big one to Thunder Force. Some monsters fought at the Dogma HQ resemble warped, grotesque mockeries modeled after Nintendo characters, such as Kirby and Pikachu. Other bear likeness to a Pipo Ape, a monstrous PlayStation 2 and ghastly dualshock controllers. Several cutscenes about Sega's innermost secrets are shout-outs to Neon Genesis Evangelion. | |

Right Hand Versus Left Hand | |
| Segagaga (Video Game) / int_d833090a | comment |
Right Hand Versus Left Hand: The game portrays the relationship between programmers and designers in this way. In theory, both groups should work together in the development of games but in practice they're fighting each other over resources (read: memory) to the point of becoming fierce enemies, making any kind of cooperation between them nigh impossible. It's up to Taro Sega to parch things between the warring organizations. Easier said than done as the lead programmer lost his mind after an incident that involved a yellow bear suit, an unruly mob of customers and the guys from D. D. Crew and the lead designer became a tyrannical despot who rules over his underlings with an iron fist and executes anyone who dares to question his orders, like modeling a 200.000 polygon trashcan. | |

Historical Villain Upgrade: Director Cool, revealed to be the real CEO of DOGMA, is clearly meant to be a send-up of Tom Kalinske, the man who made Sega a household name in America. The game parodies the events that lead to Kalinske's fallout with Sega of Japan and his subsequent departure from the company. | |

| Segagaga (Video Game) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: DOGMA is clearly an amalgamated stand-in of both Sony (The main rival of Sega at that point due to its market domination) and Nintendo (The DOGMA Pyramid is the in-game counterpart to the Nintendo GameCube, both more powerful and more cost-efficient than Dreamcast, and both named after geometry shapes and shaped accordingly). Director Cool leads the American branch of Sega that has archived great success. Clearly, he's meant to be a expy of Tom Kalinske, the executive that put the Sega Genesis on the map across the Pacific. | |
