While volunteering as a @thevideogamelibrary.org contributor, I came across this news feature on Segaworld in Sonic the Comic May 1996 issue. Brought back good memories of going with my school friends! Was great but only lasted three years & never made a profit - or, "the late 90s Sega story," lol.
