   The Return of SEGA? A new console?                                 

Rumors are swirling that SEGA is looking to get back into the home video game market using its RingWide and RingEdge arcade boxes as prototypes....much like they have done with previous systems. Could the rumors be true?? Check out articles online and feel free to e-mail us if you have any news or tips.

       CORGS at CONTEXT 22

 CORGS attended the CONTEXT 22 convention this year at the Doubletree Hilton in late August. Attendees were treated to a vast array of great fiction, fantasy, horror and sci-fi books. Fans also got to meet many of the authors and attend writing workshops. The Great Buckeye was the official games-master and had fun combining retro video games with board games.
