How did Sega manage to create almost all of my favorite game series, but immediately destroy them too?

Sega giveth, and Sega taketh away

How good is Panzer Dragoon Saga with emulator these days? I recall trying it some years ago, couldn't even get it to start. Though that may have been because of a bad dump. On that note, are there any good Panzer Dragoon Saga dumps?

>Communities were smaller but diverse, which resulted in a bigger amount of genres of good quality.
I think that's looking back with rose-tinted glasses.
In the 90's arcade space, for example, you had only shooting games (though of different perspectives and mechanics, from run n guns to House of the Dead to shoot-em-ups [shmups]), beat-em-ups, fighting games, and racing games. Most games that came out stuck to one of those formulas and only deviated a little.
The '90s stagnated relative to the '80s, just like the 2010s stagnated from the 2000s.

Serious question, pls no bully: Why is it so difficult to emulate the sound on a Genesis?

Sega themselves couldn't even do it on the Smashpack for the Dreamcast.

25 years of pure agony for Sega fans.
