Hay guys, have been on a quest to find out more stuff about Sonic Xtreme, and look what I have dug up. The director of Sega Technical Institute, the ones who created Sonic Spinball, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 and the finaly canned Sonic xtreme.
Heres my email.
He then replied:
So, any idea what I could ask him? I got a few obvious things already, but I would enjoy some ideas from people.
Cheers.
Heres my email.
Dear Mr Hector
First of all, may I appologise for this email being unrelated to your photography bussiness, which may I add, is very impressive. Also, may I appologise incase I have infact got the wrong person, which is quite possible, as it is becomming ever harder to hunt down people these days!
Here's the main question.
Are you, or are you not the same Mr Hector that was once the director of the unforunate devision of Sega, Sega Technical Institute?
If not, please disregard this email, and I appologise for wasting your valued time.
If you are...
Would it be possible to ask you a few questions about your time there? as I work for a Sonic the Hedgehog fansite, and I happen to know that STi worked with Sonic team on quite a few games, including the canned Sonic Xtreme. I would ask the message board of the site to submit some questions and I would put in a few of my own, if you agree to this interview.
Thankyou highly for your precious time

******,
Even though you may have found me through my Automotive Art website, I am the same Roger Hector that used to run STI from 1993 - 1996, and I know quite a lot about Sonic and the people that developed him (I used to be regarded as "Sonic's Boss").
Today I am involved with several businesses, including games, but my website only makes reference to my being an artist (I've been one all my life). Even though I paint many different types of subjects, this website only deals with my popular automotive paintings.
If you'd like to ask any Sega questions, I'd be happy to answer.
Roger
