'''Sega''' was originally founded in 1940 as "Standard Games" in Honolulu, Hawaii. The company was then moved to Tokyo, Japan by Raymond Lemaire and Richard Stewart as a means of distributing coin-operated games and was renamed "Service Games". In later years the company would become "Sega" (an abbreviation for "SErvice GAmes"), its current identity. Sega would soon become an immediate competitor to [[Nintendo]] right after they started manufacturing video game consoles (such as the Genesis, Sega Master System, etc.) and came up with their own iconic mascot Sonic the Hedgehog). As of today, Sega is still active. | '''Sega''' was originally founded in 1940 as "Standard Games" in Honolulu, Hawaii.
