          Okay, my hubby (who's in the business) says 12 games were hardwired into the circuitry with cards that acted like dipswitches for changing the games. You're probably talking about tennis, but there was also haunted house, football, ice hockey, and more. Also, if you're thinking about Tennis for Two, that was the game that Willie Higginbotham built into a oscilloscope. [I have no idea what the heck hubby's talking about... All I know is that I'm the champ of Space Invaders and Ms Pac Man on speed. ]

            Sega was founded by Marty Gromley who worked at Pearl Harbor, along w/4 other people. They later merged w/Rosen Enterprises, founded by David Rosen, to create Sega Enterprises. Sega stands for service games.

            I don't think anyone can stump my husband. Next trivia question (tapping toes, patiently waiting for a more challenging one )...

            Edit: Marty Bromley, not Gromley

              You got that right. Here's another one it's more on history and stuff. Before Nintendo made toys and video games what product did they make in Japan?

                I recall reading somewhere that they manufactured Hanafuda (Sakura) cards.

                  They made Hanafuda playing cards like Moto said. After 100 yrs of making these cards, Hiroshi Yamauchi expanded into Disney playing cards, love hotels, toys, and virtual skeet shooting parks, before making Game & Watch portable games, and eventually straying into arcade games.

                    Here's a trivia question for you:

                    What was the best-selling arcade game in U.S. history?

                    And how about in world history?

                        Pacman is the best-selling arcade game in world history.

                        BTW, Tetris is the best-selling home game of all time (based on game cartridges sold).

                        How about best-selling arcade game ever in U.S. history?

                            Between Pacman and Tetris I loved Tetris the most still do and I play it as often as I can. I got up to level 17 that was the highest I ever went and I think ever will go in my life, unless I become a god.

                              The strongest most sought after videogame consoles in today's market are: Nintendo, Playstation and XBOX. There were other consoles that came out two years ago that tried to compete but failed in the market. Anyways here's my question it's a little harder. In 1995 at the E3(Electronic Entertainment Expo) nine video game consoles were Introduced at the Expo. They all had potential to be great systems, some's where powerful than others, while others lacked in power they more than made up for it with games. What were these nine systems and out of all them how many video game consoles failed in the market and which ones did Good in the long run? I mean during that time.

                                Nine systems were not introduced at E3 in 1995. 3DO, Jaguar, and Sega 32X came out in 1994. Saturn & PlayStation came out in 1995, but they didn't have a working N64 until 1996. You might also be including Nomad, which did come out in 1995, as well as Nintendo Virtual Boy. When you say "nine", were you also including Tiger's RZone? FX CD was launched in 1995--but that was a Japan release. Not sure how you came up with 9 unless you counted the Panasonic and Goldstar 3DOs as separate units, but the Panasonic clearly pre-dates E3. Many of these systems were unveiled at CES, not E3.

                                BTW, who was the first mascot spokesman for PlayStation?
