Hi everyone, Just wanted to stop by and say how much I'm enjoying this site. The good ol' days of Sega is something I really miss because I use to be a Sega rep at a local Sears in NJ. It was nice getting freebies like shirts, toys, pins, and even games once in a while. Once again great site. See you later, Ed

I had some interesting times as a Sega rep. Just like the one time they asked me to wear a Sonic the Hedge costume that was way too small. I'm 6 feet 3 inches tall and lets say the costume was about a foot smaller. I ended up asking my girlfriend at the time to wear the costume and I wore the Dr. R costume, a much better fit.
Unfortunately I couldn't keep the costumes, I'm sure I could of gotten a few good bills for them on eBay.
As for the freebies. The games I was given was Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Alien Storm and Streets of Rage 2. I still have my Sonic 2 t-shirt, Eternal Champions pins, Sonic 1 and 2 pins, Streets of Rage and Sonic 2 banners.
And I still have all of my Sega Visions magazines that I was given.
It was a fun time doing all of this and being able to travel to different stores to change the games in the in store trial systems.
And yes I still have and play both my SMS and Gen.
Ahhh... The good ol' days.

Welcome man, great to have another person from the states, especially someone with a background. Did you happen to work with John Sauer at all?
