'''Sega''' is a Japanese game company that was founded as Service Games in 1940 in Honolulu, Hawaii by Martin Bromley, Irving Bromberg, and James Humpert. The company moved to Tokyo, Japan in 1951. In 1960, the company became incorporated and was renamed Nihon Goraku Bussan.

Within a year of the merger, the company began manufacturing coin operated games, rather than just importing them. | '''Sega''' is a Japanese game company that was founded as Service Games in 1940 in Honolulu, Hawaii by Martin Bromley, Irving Bromberg, and James Humpert.
