The Making of Sonic Adventure is a retro gaming history documentary about the game development of Sonic Adventure by Jordan H J.

In the early nineties, SEGA was at their peak, they taking on Nintendo and had a goal of global dominance. By 1997, their plans had failed, and they was sliding into irrelevance. They had one last roll of the dice, the Sega Dreamcast. And for it to succeed, they had to bring their mascot back in proper fashion, and give the console a game which could change their fortunes, in this important moment in gaming history and game development. I'm Jordan H J and I make videos about gaming history.
