Since they are showing games like Samba de Amigo, Planet Ring, SEGA Xtreme Sports and Quake 3 Arena being tested, which were all released in late 2000, and are still talking about Dreamcast being a competing console during a Christmas season, I think this was recorded in early to mid 2000.
yeah given they're testing Quake 3 Arena I'd say summer 2000 could be somewhere near. And having watched further, yeah they started giving away ChuChu Rocket in I think June 2000 for a couple of months?
Thanks so much for posting this, amazing bit of history to see inside Sega UK at this (nearly) transitional time. How did you get the Beta SP tape? I see at 4:00 that they're using NTSC systems in part of the test department.
Sega Europe's very own "Hall of Shame" video, nice! Many of the people seen in this video were responsible for some of the bugs and glitches that were never picked up. 😂
