You may have seen this elsewhere since I was sent it yesterday, but it's worth seeing if you haven't. It's an interview with peter morawiec, who was in STI - the Sega Technical Institute, which was basically Sega's u.s. development branch. There, he developed several concepts for games, some of which were released, some of which weren't, but invariably his concepts were somewhat different from the result.

There are three movies, and several interesting anecdotes regarding the internal organization of Sega and STI. Check out the Comix Zone original idea, which featured a much more spritely main character, the original vision of Sonic Spinball, and a very strange 2D/3D Sonic stealth action game. Thanks to james for sending it in!
