Many projects are in the works, but among the most exciting at Hollywood Sports revolve around the creative minds of Sega Inc. Sega is the tip of the spear that throughout the years has demolished the walls of monotony. They brought us out of pixel images and in to color with the highly popular and successful Game Gear. When the standard was black and white, Sega broke out of that schema and literally revolutionized the industry by introducing one of the first portable game consoles with explosive sound and color, Game Gear. Nowadays, ...

the new standard is of course nothing but color. We can thank the people of Sega for this! Sega is continuing with their legacy by breaking new ground with the professionals of Hollywood Sports.


When Sega decided to design an extreme sports game unlike any other, they turned to the boys of Hollywood Sports for input. HSP is a world renowned sports theme park located in Bellflower, California. They have had everyone from Schwarzenegger to Tom Arnold, Nicholas Cage and Wil Smith play at their facilities. With this in mind, Sega U.S. and Sega Japan both decided to visit HSP to get the project moving.



Top executives from Japan and the U.S. came out on a sunny day to the grounds of HSP. Among them included Al Stone, President of Sega. They were given the tour of the best equipped extreme sports facilities in the world. They mingled with guests and players of HSP. When the extensive tour was completed, realizing the great excitement within the compounds of HSP, Al Stone quickly organized his company and launched plans to develop the first paintball arcade game ever! The creative minds of Sega are currently gathering research information from top athletes to bring the excitement of Hollywood Sports to an arcade near you.



The game will feature familiar fields of Hollywood Sports and the SC Village Arena inside the video game. Gamers will be able to directly interact with the top professionals in the industry. People from around the globe will now have the opportunity to visit the colossal paintball parks through the Sega video game.



The founders of Hollywood Sports, Dennis Bukowski and Giovanni D’Egidio are excited about the opportunity to bring the great game of paintball in to the mainstream arena. The end result will ultimately benefit the entire paintball community. Once again, the boys of Hollywood Sports bring paintball one step closer to the mainstream masses. It is hard to believe that soon, there will be an arcade game that has managed to package compress all of the energy and all of the excitement and adrenaline pumping action of Hollywood Sports.

It will be interesting to see how this one works out, and if it's any better than all the others that have come in the past.

has anyone ever seen the boxing arcade game where you actually have to swing and the computer senses where you are when you crouch, bob and weave? If it is like that where you can actually play in a bunker and snap shoot and such, I am going to get it for my house. Practice all day without using any paint. Whoo hooo.

Dood have you played the police game that is just like that. It lets you move in any direction and snapshoot out from behind things. I have always been telling my friends how easy it would be to make a paintball game with the same concept. The only problem would be moving because in both the boxing and the police game you dont move at all, except in the police on the computer moves your guy to a new location once you have shot every one.

YOu wouldn't be talking about the time crisis series would you? That game is great for shooting drills and stuff, but not too realistic.

no it's police enforcer, but the time crisis games rock for practicing your shooting, i can rip on the trigger for time crisis 2. the top of the gun doesn't even recock.

who said the game would be this interactive? if it is this will be soooo cool. good job sega. any idea when this great thing will be out? btw, the police game kicks arse, all they need is a gun shaped like a angel and some air fields with masked bad guys
