The Sega Genesis was the last console with a "game console", "non-domestic-PC", and "non-toy" auras, for me. At a non-internet time, game consoles were like magnets for socialization and for making friends through shared experiences. I never knew who David Rosen was. Unfortunately only today I know who he was. And he was the kind of person that did significant work that influenced and nourished the imagination and experiences of many young people and adults. Thanks a lot for Sega, for the arcades, for the Master System, for Akai Koudan Zillion and for the Mega Drive/Genesis, Mr. David Rosen. Rest in peace.
