Sega Channel
Sega Channel was a project developed by Sega for the Sega Genesis gaming system. For a monthly subscription, the gamer would get an adapter which, once connected to their cable TV connection would provide them with unlimited access to over 50 games, with new games appearing every 2 weeks. The games would be downloaded in about a minute and play just like the normal versions.
Sega also ran several promotions through the service. Special previews for up-and-coming titles were provided; some import games not found in the US were exclusive to the service; cheats and tips were handed out.
The service was also available in some parts of the UK on certain cable services.
Although fairly successful the service ended up failing; more up to date consoles were making the Genesis obsolete.
