Nice video shilling the Genny's first-gen library. Take a look at that horrendous list of third-parties they had working for them circa-March 1990. I don't recall Microprose or Spectrum Holobyte developing anything for the Genesis in that time period, or Epyx. Those early days looked quite sad and barren in retrospect. How did you early Genny adopters get by with such a drought in software???

All this promotional work was a product of the Michael Katz regime wasn't it???

Microprose F-15 Strike Eagle II was announced for Genesis in either very late 1989 or early 1990. There was a preview for it in EGM and I saw footage of that game and Vette! (a Corvette simulator) on videotape at Toys R US in early 1990. Although probably it was footage of the PC or Amiga versions.

F-15 Strike Eagle II didn't get released on Genesis until 1993 and Vette! was canceled.

Spectrum Holobyte was apparently bringing the original Falcon to Genesis, it was mentioned in EGM #3 August/September 1989 but it also never got released.

Falcon 3.0 was also supposed to be released on SNES but it too, was canceled.


Early 1990 saw the release of two of the best first-generation Genesis games
Herzog Zwei and Phantasy Star II.

That video reminds me of two promo posters i got in the 90ies. One with Genesis games and one with Mastersystem Games which were available at the time.
Anyone remember the Sonic 2 watch ?

Back in 1991, I used to hit old people with folding chairs.

My interview with Tom Sloper is up. He talks about the Master System stuff and a little bit about Genesis stuff.

I just watched a gameplay video of the Arcade version of Golden Axe. The part where they grabbed the "if you think they look the same, your right" clip from, it looks like Sega delibretely made that one part of the game to have less detailed graphics than the rest of the game, just to make that comparison look convincing.

I'm looking for that video now.



the part where the sky turns orange, notice how the background disapears into one color like the Sega Genesis version

Great interview! This is interesting:

GDRI: You co-produced the Genesis version of Mondu's Fight Palace (which eventually was released as Slaughter Sport). Do you know who developed that? Can I assume that was another victim of the problems at Mediagenic?


TS: It was developed completely internally. Bruce had the studio kick off development on video game consoles internally and at the time, I was the only producer in video games. I was the guy who was supposed to oversee all those internal projects and all the video game projects we were doing in Japan. I was sent to work in the Japan office, thank goodness, so I wasn't present for the fun that followed.

I've been speaking recently to someone who was there for what followed after Sloper left and the effect the Joe Montana debacle had on SP's development. He didn't know the game had been eventually released.

Nice interview, CRV!

Thanks.

(Two more questions added, BTW)
