How EA Broke Sega | The Story Behind EA's Yellow Tab Genesis Carts

The Sega Genesis is no stranger to strange cartridge variations, but no cartridge has a story as unique as EA's yellow tab Sega Genesis carts. In this video we take a look back at when Electronic Arts was an underdog in the world of console gaming and took a huge gamble that resulted in EA bending Sega to their will. This is the surprising story behind EA's yellow tab Sega Genesis Carts.

Just for fun I added a couple of bloopers at the very end of the video. There were way better ones but naturally I didn't think of putting them in the video until long after I had deleted everything else. Great planning!
