The earliest known electronic game joystick with a fire button was released by Sega as part of their 1969 arcade game Missile, a shooter simulation game that used it as part of an early dual-control scheme, where two directional buttons are used to move a motorized tank and a two-way joystick is used to shoot and steer the missile onto oncoming planes displayed on the screen ; when a plane is hit, an explosion is animated on screen along with an explosion sound.

It also was used as a sound controller in the Sega Saturn game console, and as a controller for the HP JetDirect Ethernet controller boards for the mid-90s LaserJet printers.

A known side effect of this policy was the Sega Genesis version of Mortal Kombat selling over double the number of the Super NES version, mainly because Nintendo had forced publisher Acclaim to recolor the red blood to look like white sweat and replace some of the more gory graphics in its release of the game, making it non-violent.

By contrast, Sega allowed blood and gore to remain in the Genesis version ( though a code was required to unlock the gore ).

All of the team members that worked at Sega Studio USA were Japanese, with the exception of Brad Wagner who was hired at the studio during the development of Shadow the Hedgehog.
