Kickstarter Projects

Just a shame they don't have the proper Megadrive logo on them.

Yeah I'm surprised they don't have an option for that. They need some help if they're going to make their goal, and offering MD logos would surely bring in more backers from outside North America.

The question has been asked:
[font=verdana:6ct1mi20]Why no love for Mega Drive?
Mega Drive was the name Sega used around the world instead of Genesis. Unfortunately, that means it would require a completely different license to make Mega-Bit figures with Mega Drive labels. There is potential to do some later on, but definitely not during the Kickstarter.[/font:6ct1mi20]

Then I can't back it sadly. Shows a lack of research on there part.

Sticking arms and legs onto a cart doesn't seem like a great value.  Now, if he was a digital artist and the carts could be inserted into a real Mega Drive for a slideshow..  now we're talkin'!

I like and agree with your argument there

Well, it wasn't supported by enough people, so it died. I think he did the same thing with NES carts and that sold well.

Here is another Kickstarter project that may be of interest.  Remember the game Night Trap?  Well, this campaign is trying to revive the game but in HD.  Check out the campaign:  Night Trap ReVamped.

God no!! Not a remake of a crap fmv game from the early 90s! The only reason they were popular then was because CD gaming was new and it was impressive to have video streaming on your game console, crap like this just wont cut it nowadays, sorry if your a fan of these 'games' but they are about as playable as a japanese school story game!

Well, apparently this isn't a remake per se but, rather, a remastering of the existing game since they have the footage from the original 35mm film.  I guess what they are doing is something similar to what has been done with the Star Trek series.  Of course, it has to be funded first for this to happen!

I admit 99% of them were rubbish, but a few of them weren't altogether bad.  Road Avenger, Revenge of the Ninja and Time Gal were all decent on the Mega CD, and Dragon's Lair was excellent in the arcades as well (I never had a home version of that one).

They were good. If I put Night Trap or any of the others in a Sega CD unit it would be the grainy footage that sells me. The grainy images added to the suspense.

Let this one rest in peace. HD is great, but it is like Ted Turner when he colorized everything back in the late 80's and early 90's. Some things are best left alone.

My thoughts as well.  Something about that grainy, 90's video style is what makes going back to my favorite FMV games fun.

By the way, Ted Turner colorizing those movies is supposedly what inspired John Carpenter to put reality in black and white, and the alien created illusion world in color, in the film They Live.

I was never a big fan of this game so an HD version doesn't excite me too much, but it's still kinda cool they're trying it. HD Sewer Shark on the other hand, sign me up

Thanks! I love Roddy Piper. Never knew that.

I liked Sewer Shark. Was it on the 3DO?
