Self-published, occasionally rough at the edges, and indispensable. Service Games tracks Sega from the mechanical-arcade beginnings through the Dreamcast endgame with the kind of board-level attention that mainstream publishers won’t fund. If a Sega article wants to know which custom chips a particular cabinet used, this is the first book you reach for.
