    This beach ball is a promotional item for Sonic Unleashed. It has alternating dark blue and white panels, with both Sonic and Werehog on their own white panel. The third has the logo and copyright information. SEGA is stamped on the top, for good measure. The design is pretty good…

Classic 1990s Sega Ufo Catcher

Here is a classic 1990s Sega UFO Catcher machine from Japan. But...it's not IN Japan! Someone, somehow, got this giant heavy machine into America where it now sits in a game shop.

Where...it still clearly works, as it is full of prize toys to try and win. The paper instructions there on the glass explain how it works. Stringy Sonic the plush is sitting on the machine to show the size. Plushes like this one (or, likely, this exact one) came from this exact machine when it was new. It's hard to see at the top above the word UFO Catcher (written in such an 80s type font) is the Sega logo. The prize doors also both have Sonic on them. Why is it pink? No one's ever been able to explain it, but it seems a majority of them were, at Segaworld, at the time. This is an interesting vintage piece of history type machine, and a good call-out to Sega quality because it still works.
