In Australia, SEGA is pronounced SEE-GAH but in some other countries I'm led to believe it's pronounced SAY-GAR.
After intensive research I have found that SEGA is a shortened version of "SErvice GAmes of Japan", which sold slot machines to US military bases after WW2.
So SEGA is most fairly pronounced SER-GAY.
There you go, now nobody is happy

"The Most Courageous Thing I Ever Did In My Career" - EA's Founder On Taking On Sega And Winning
"It took us about a year to figure out how it worked, and then we were able to supply our developers with instructions on how to make Sega Genesis games and tools to help them do that. Then we were able to get several projects into production, and we were able to prepare to launch them in June of 1990 at the CES show."
Around the early 1990s I recorded this cheerful FM synth tune from a friend's Sega Megadrive / Genesis onto Sony MiniDisc. The track was just named "Megadrive pinball game highscore" at the time, and I don't know the game title anymore. 🙂

👾 Unofficial FPGA Sega Neptune Gets Pushed Into 2026
｢ Sega originally announced the Neptune project back in the mid-'90s, just as it was preparing to release the 32X and Saturn. Neptune would have combined the Genesis and 32X into a single system, offering a more elegant entry point for those who weren't ready to invest in a Saturn ｣
