A huge update has been made to our SEGA Music Catalogue. If you head into our Merchandise section and click the Music link you will see an extended and far tidier music index. The index is now organised by album title for easier searching and each entry now has its own separate page full of trivia, scans and a track list.
New additions to the catalogue include:
Alex Kidd Complete Album
The Best of Crush 40 – Super Sonic Songs
Complete Trinity: Sonic Heroes – Original Soundtrax
We will be continuing to add to this section throughout the week and hope to add music that contains SEGA references as well as bonus CDs that come free with special edition games. Watch this space!

Chinese-developed arcade racer Storm Racer G will be making a UK appearance at the EAG Expo next week. The game is being developed by Wahlap with SEGA Amusements publishing and it looks pretty old school in its appearance and gameplay. The crashes are of the Outrun 2 variety (launching you into the air dramatically) and the graphics look a bit Dreamcasty.
