Prologue
Genesis, the Golden Age of Justice,
Saturn, the Silver Age of Pride,
Dreamcast, the Bronze Age of Survival,
Third Party, the Iron Age of Judgment,
Sonic Boom, the Apocalypse of Delusion.
For the future: To redeem humanity takes AGES. To redeem humanity takes SEGA.
Act 1: The Golden Age of Justice
In the late 80s, Nintendo was king,
Which led to a forecast of red versus blue,
Soon, the blue realm's coin-op lords lost zing,
Thus, it had built a great princess from cue.
Sega had done such, like what Nintendon't,
With sweet sixteen bits, the Genesis had flare,
She was not enough, so one Turbo had grown,
In all, the console wars were a big scare.
hen based on an air freshener from a car game,
There came a blue blur, Sonic was the name,
He matched a red plumber and raced for acclaim,
For this spiked Mickey, speed was his game.
Respect for dear Genesis grew fast as kung fu,
And the kingdom of Sega gained quite royal glory,
Sonic, proclaimed as "Prince of All Blue",
Had promised to live up to three times his story.
Act 2: The Silver Age of Pride
The Genesis must soon change her name, but to what?
A planet with rings? Now that might keep trust,
"She will be even bigger and better, no buts,"
But at Triple E's of 95, she might bite the dust.
Just what did go wrong? Just why all the derision?
The Queens of the Red and the Sun have still thrived.
Segata Sanshiro, thou must bring thy vision!
It is time to bring in the judo, so strive!
Meanwhile, Prince Sonic, who's now the Blue King,
Was being too proud; too sluggish, in fact,
Neglected the kingdom, lost some of his zing,
Joined only two races, but then ended up racked.
Queen Saturn's power was complex, yet crude,
32 bits were rough, and so were the choices,
Yu's fighters served well, but sales have been booed,
Next time, the kingdom must hear the fans' voices.
