[X] Proto Plan
-[X] Sega's plan is to license popular personalities and celebrities; and who is the most popular personality of all time than a certain rat? Sega begins talks with Disney to develop games based on Mickey Mouse. Costs $5m, but unlocks "Castle of Illusion" in 1990 (With Viacom's help, the price is reduced to $3m, but due to Disney and Viacom being competing distributors, this price is only available this month)
-[X] Sega has their eye on popular music, and there's a certain King of Pop that requires their attention. Fortunately, Michael Jackson is already a fan. Sega spends $2mil to license Michael Jackson's likeness and music for the upcoming game Moonwalker. (with Viacom's help, this is free)
-[X] With Namco having been scorned by Nintendo in the past, their relationship soured pretty bad. Guess who came knocking? Costs $1mil, and adds two free Namco games on the list every year until 1992, and at least ten free Namco games throughout each year thereafter until 1994
-[X] Acclaim, one of the very first American third party developers for NES, has a few ideas for the Sega console; and Sega might have a few spots in their release lineup for them. Costs $2mil and adds an Acclaim, LJN, or Flying Edge game on the list until 1992.
-[X] Accolade is a relatively popular PC developer made up of former Activision developers... but they've recently begun working on ways around Sega's copy protection. Sega, impressed with their ingenuity but wanting to make sure they know the score, gives them a choice: License, and get at least Accolade games every year until 1992 where they'll renegotiate, or wait 'til the next Sega console. Costs $.5mil
-[X] Atari Games recently put out an update to one of their classic games, Super Sprint; as well as a post-apocalyptic conversion called Badlands. Since the 4-Player converter is out, these games would be pretty nice to have... among others. Sega's been looking into western arcade games anyway. Unlocks "Super Sprint", "Championship Sprint", "Cyberball", and "Badlands" for voting.
-[X] Konami recently put out this four player beat-em-up based on a cartoon series, something to do with half-shelled shinobi, and it's been making a tear through the arcade scene. There are, of course, other cartoon series too. They wonder... Unlocks "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Arcade Game" "Bucky O'Hare", "Aliens", "The Lone Rangers", "The Simpsons", "Wild West C.O.WBoys of Moo Mesa" and Capcom's "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs" for voting.
-[X] With Sega finding out about Accolade fucking around, they want to make sure that bootlegs aren't allowed in their ecosystem. To rectify this, they are going to develop a special program that detects bootleg carts. Implements "SEGA Key" copy-protection in all future Revisions. This will cost $1mil.
-[X] Sega's planned release of Fist of the North Star is highly anticipated, but there is something that needs to be done to make sure kids know this one is for the adults in the room. Thus, to avoid government pushback, Sega decides to develop the "Video Ratings Council" as a check against parents who buy their kids adult games. This would enable more mature games and themes much earlier as well, thus opening the audience and really drive home that Sega Does What Nintendon't. Reveals VRC ratings for each released game, and adds another die to games rated MA-13+ or higher.
-[X] Sega's hardware revision is coming along smoothly, but president Hayao Nakayama has an idea: why not combine both revisions of the Genesis, the 4-Player Adapter and the Power Base, into one single revision? Unlocks "Sega Genesis Megabase" Upgrade Path, combines 4-Player Adapter and Power Base paths, and adds two additional dice. Costs $5mil.
-[X] Super Scaler games are all the rage recently, and Sega has... themselves to thank, actually. In order to future-proof their shiny new 16-bit console, Sega is developing a special upgrade to the Genesis: the Super Scaler Converter. It will cost 7,500,000 and won't launch until 1991, but it will unlock Super Scaler home ports for the rest of the Genesis' lifecycle. It will also unlock a possible "Sega X-Genesis" Upgrade Path later on.
-[X] What is this CD-ROM technology NEC is looking into? It seems amazing... and there are a few games Sega has in mind to release alongside it. This is a special upgrade for the Genesis that will cost 7,500,000 to design and won't launch until 1992, but it will unlock CD-ROM games on the list for the rest of the Genesis' lifecycle. It will also unlock a possible "Sega CDX" Upgrade Path later on.
-[X] Yes Mega Tech (Tommy Lasorda Baseball, Super Sloppy Double Dare, Finder's Keepers, Thunder Force II, World Championship Soccer, Fist of the North Star, Skate or Die!, Hey Dude)
