   I can't think of any games that aren't obvious products of other   
   successful games outside of homebrew stuff which tends to be a touch   
   underdone.  I did try to limit my statement to Sega being out of the   
   hardcore/core video game business, because I think they actually are.   
   Since Sega Rally Revo and Golden Axe Beast Rider were outright rejected,   
   for piss poor reasons, by gamers I knew Sega was done with anything   
   resembling their old self.
