The Video Game History Foundation has announced that a massive, multi-year project to recover Sega Channel games from the mid-1990s has been a resounding success. Over 140 previously undumped Sega Genesis game ROMs from this era have been recovered, many exclusives, as well as a functional but unreleased web browser for the 16-bit console. The data was found on a collection of tape backups held by former Sega Channel staffers.

Wow! What a great Christmas present for retro gaming fans! From the VGHF's own article (the source for this one)
With a few exceptions, this recovery project has accounted for almost all outstanding Sega Channel games. We believe this also means there are now digital backup copies of every unique Sega Genesis game released in the United States.
That's incredible! Finally my collector's heart can rest easy.
Fuck! Yes!
