If that's       the case then presumably the stuff isn't really from Sega's old       offices, but part of some plan to fake the resale of pretend       development kits at a huge profit. That's assuming Sega themselves       never really got the cops involved, since the article says Sega       didn't reply to a request for comment so it's not confirmed.              --       __ __       #_ < |\| |< _#              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
