"Over 140 ROMs from Sega's long defunct Sega Channel, including service-exclusive games that were thought lost to time and never-before-published prototypes, have now been recovered thanks to the latest efforts of the Video Game History Foundation. Sega Channel launched in 1994 and was one of the first subscription-based, digital game services, beaming new games and content directly to players' consoles through a television cable."
"As part of its efforts, VGHF acquired a collection of ROMs that included some rare prototypes and games, including a never-before-seen Sega Genesis web browser and previously undumped game variants of Sega Channel-exclusive games, like Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels and The Flintstones. According to VGHF, both games originated as abandoned projects that were then repurposed into exclusive Sega Channel content."
Over 140 ROMs from the defunct Sega Channel have been recovered and preserved by the Video Game History Foundation. Sega Channel operated from 1994 to 1998 as an early subscription-based digital game service delivering games over cable. The preserved collection includes 144 ROMs, Shorrock's personal notes and presentations, and a documentary titled Don't Just Watch TV: The Secrets of Sega Channel. Recovered items include rare prototypes, a never-before-seen Sega Genesis web browser, exclusive game variants such as Garfield: Caught in the Act - The Lost Levels and The Flintstones, and altered versions of titles like Super Street Fighter II adapted to Sega Channel file-size limits.
