Oh that’s pretty big.

Obviously full sized games couldn’t fit in the built in 64k of normal RAM, so they had to be put somewhere.

I only got to use Sega Channel once. I knew about it from reading magazines, but when we went to a family Thanksgiving gathering it turned out my cousins had it! I don’t know if they were a test market or not, I don’t remember what year it was so I don’t know if it had been deployed nationally yet.

I don’t know if I realized how it worked. I think cable modems may have started to exist by that point so at the time I probably assumed it was actually two way communication.

I would’ve killed to have it at home. Sega Channel is the first place I ever played Sonic 3-D Blast, the two have always been linked in my memory because of that.
