Han begravdes den 2 januari p\u00e5 Inglewood Park Cemetery enligt rapporter som uppkom under veckan den 5 januari. David Rosen f\u00f6ddes i Brooklyn och tj\u00e4nstgjorde i USA:s flygvapen under Koreakriget i 1950-talet. Efter kriget startade han Rosen Enterprises i Japan \u00e5r 1954, med b\u00f6rjan med att leverera ID-dokumentationsbilder som landet byggde upp efter andra v\u00e4rldskriget. Hans f\u00f6retag v\u00e4xte snabbt och \u00f6vergick snart till import av myntoperade spelformen och f\u00f6rs\u00e4ljning av japanska konstverk och fotoautomater. \u00c5r 1965 fusionerades Rosen Enterprises med Nihon Goraku Bussan, en importer inom samma bransch, till Sega Enterprises. Rosen var en grupp amerikanska entrepren\u00f6rer som hj\u00e4lpte att forma slotmaskin- och arkadindustrin som senare v\u00e4xte ut till Sega Enterprises Ltd. I ett intervju fr\u00e5n december 1996 erk\u00e4nde Rosen att hans arkadspel kunde finnas i varje japanskt stad och att hans f\u00f6retag hade n\u00e4stan en monopolstellung under tv\u00e5 \u00e5r innan konkurrensen utvecklades.<\/p>\n<h2>Pionj\u00e4rgrundare till Sega erk\u00e4nns i dataspelsbranschen (1928-2026)<\/h2>\n<p>I slutet av 1960-talet b\u00f6rjade Sega att tillverka egna arkadspel. I slutet av 1970-talet satsade Rosen p\u00e5 den hemmafj\u00e4drade TV-spelsmarknaden, d\u00e4r Nintendo&#8217;s Color TV-Game konsol och senare Nintendo Entertainment System dominerade. Sega intr\u00e4dde p\u00e5 marknaden f\u00f6r datakonsoler i b\u00f6rjan av 1980-talet med SG-1000, f\u00f6ljt av Master System under 1980-talets mitt. Master System hade framg\u00e5ng i Europa och Sydamerika men st\u00f6ttades av starkare konkurrens fr\u00e5n Nintendo&#8217;s NES i Nordamerika. Rosen \u00e5terv\u00e4nde till USA under 1980-talet och var med Sega kvar till 1996. Han ledde lanseringen av Master System i Europa, Brasilien och Australien samt konkurrensen mellan Sega och Nintendo samt Mega Drive. Sega publicerade f\u00f6ljande uttalande p\u00e5 X (tidigare Twitter) den 7 januari 2026: &#8221;Vi \u00e4r mycket tr\u00f6stl\u00f6sa \u00f6ver att veta om Davids Rosens bortg\u00e5ng, en av grundarna till SEGA och en verklig pionj\u00e4r inom dataspelsbranschen. Vi vill uttrycka v\u00e5ra sorg vid familj, v\u00e4nner och bekanta hos Mr. Rosen och vi kommer alltid att minnas hans insatser.&#8221; [Upphovsmannskyltad till Canaltech]<\/p>\n<div class=\"external-references\"><h2>Det pratas ocks\u00e5 om det i utl\u00e4ndsk press<\/h2><p class=\"external-references__disclaimer\">Om du f\u00f6rst\u00e5r engelska, h\u00e4r \u00e4r l\u00e4nkar till externa k\u00e4llor<\/p><ul class=\"external-references__list\"><li class=\"external-references__item\" data-index=\"1\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Obituary: Sega co-founder David Rosen has passed away at age 95<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamedeveloper.com\/console\/obituary-sega-co-founder-david-rosen-has-passed-away-at-age-95\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external-references__link\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Obituary: Sega co-founder David Rosen has passed away at age 95<\/span><span class=\"external-references__domain\">gamedeveloper.com<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"external-references__item\" data-index=\"2\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder and arcade founding father, David Rosen, dies age 95<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.videogameschronicle.com\/news\/sega-co-founder-and-arcade-founding-father-david-rosen-dies-age-95\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external-references__link\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder and arcade founding father, David Rosen, dies age 95<\/span><span class=\"external-references__domain\">videogameschronicle.com<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"external-references__item\" data-index=\"3\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega&#039;s American co-founder David Rosen dies at 95 years of age<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/gaming-industry\/segas-american-co-founder-david-rosen-dies-at-95-years-of-age\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external-references__link\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega&#039;s American co-founder David Rosen dies at 95 years of age<\/span><span class=\"external-references__domain\">pcgamer.com<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"external-references__item\" data-index=\"4\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder David Rosen dies aged 95<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/games\/2026\/jan\/05\/sega-co-founder-david-rosen-dies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external-references__link\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder David Rosen dies aged 95<\/span><span class=\"external-references__domain\">theguardian.com<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"external-references__item\" data-index=\"5\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder and arcade &#039;titan&#039; David Rosen dead at age 95<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metro.co.uk\/2026\/01\/05\/sega-co-founder-arcade-titan-david-rosen-dead-age-95-26083523\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"external-references__link\"><span class=\"external-references__title\">Sega co-founder and arcade &#039;titan&#039; David Rosen dead at age 95<\/span><span class=\"external-references__domain\">metro.co.uk<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erinnrar du dig av David Rosen, pionj\u00e4ren inom videospelbranschen som tillsammans med Sega startade upp f\u00f6retaget och bidragit betydligt till dess utveckling som arcadef\u00f6retag?
