Any self-respecting gamer in their mid 20s or older should take one look at this and get excited.
Sega Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works is a Kickstarter project that, if successful, will result in what will surely be the most impressive book covering the history of what was arguably Sega's finest console.

A 300-page hardback book with more than 35,000 words of Mega Drive musings, it will also feature interviews with more than 20 key names in the Mega Drive story, many of whom have never been interviewed before. The full list is:

Naoto Oshima, Game Designer: Sonic the Hedgehog

Yu Suzuki, Game Designer: Space Harrier, OutRun, After Burner, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter

Makoto Uchida, Planner: Altered Beast, Golden Axe, Alien Storm

Yuji Naka, Game Designer: Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic & Knuckles

Masami Ishikawa, Product Designer: Mega Drive/Genesis hardware

Mitsushige Shiraiwa, Product Designer: Mega Drive/Genesis outer casing

Tomohiro Kondo, Planner: Shadow Dancer

Yuzo Koshiro, Sound Designer: The Super Shinobi/Revenge of Shinobi, Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage

Akira Nishino, Planning Director: Ristar the Shooting Star/Ristar

Kan Naito, Programmer: Shining Force

Kazuyuki Hoshino, Art Director: Knuckles Chaotix

Keisuke Tsukahara, Sound Designer: Shadow Dancer, Alien Storm (arcade)

Kotaro Hayashida, Game Designer: Alex Kidd, Space Harrier II

Manabu Kusunoki, Graphic Designer: Bonanza Bros.

Naohiro Warama (credited as Taro Shizuoka), Designer: Revenge of Shinobi/The Super Shinobi

Noriyoshi Ohba, Director: The Super Shinobi/Revenge of Shinobi, Bare Knuckle/Streets of Rage

Ryuichi Nishizawa, Director: Wonder Boy

Koji Tsuchida, Director: Shadow Squadron/Stellar Assault

Tomoyuki Ito, Director: The Super Shinobi II/Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master

Toru Yoshida, Designer: Phantasy Star II, III, IV

Tombo Arikawa, Designer: Rent A Hero

Ryutaro Nonaka, Planner: Metal Head

Naofumi Hataya, Sound: Golden Axe II, Virtua Racing Deluxe

The chance to read full interviews with all those legends would be impressive enough as it is, but the book's also going to be packed with photos, illustrations, and sketches of all manner of things Mega Drive related, from manufacturing plans ("plucked from the SEGA archive in Japan") to design documents and original concept renderings for alternative versions of the controller.
