    from what i understand from a recent interview by IGN with former sega employees during the sega transition including berny stolar

    a blond woman said something to the effect
    they found out about the EOL and transition when they walked into work
    one day they saw games listed for the N64 one of them being jet grind radio

    if i ever run across the vid again ill post it

    i wanna know who the employee was that says the combined 32x was called mars

    if its a newer employee who wasn't there for the 16 bit era then i call bullshit
    but if it was someone from the 16 biy era then there MIGHT be validity to it being the MARS instead of NEPTUNE

    ill say one thing i have NO cause to doubt patthenespunk

    Not much of the employees from back then are still around there now. In the 90's video games related jobs were a real passion. Now its teenagers who want to work on the latest CoD or GTA. Quite upsetting how lied to they are.

    Mars = 32x
    Neptune = 32x & Mega Drive
    Jupiter = Aborted Saturn cart system (first Saturn proto)

    How many other proto's were their? Sega had so many consoles around 94/95 they probably had to make planets up
