Join Ben, Dave, Pat, and Peter as we investigate notable 2D platformers from early in the Saturn’s lifecycle. We discuss Astal, the Clockwork Knight games, Gex, Rayman, and even Tryrush Deppy. Were these games good, or were they unfairly doomed for not being 3D?

This was a LIVE ZOOM panel interview for Long Island Retro's UPLINK Expo 2021. While we were a bit rushed for time due to the format, we still got in several great questions for Tom, and he shared a lot of great insights with us.

In this interview from the SHIRO! ARCHIVE, we sit down with David Warhol, the president and founder of RealTime Associates (creators of BUG! & BUG TOO!) to discuss early Saturn development and what it was like to be one of the chosen few "TIGER TEAMS", that SEGA appointed to help fill out the Saturn's western launch lineup. Mr. Warhol provides a fascinating, detailed glimpse into the life of a SEGA Saturn third party developer. Prepare for some stunning insights! Including:
* How the Saturn almost – almost! – had a fully 3D Sonic the Hedgehog game at launch
* A third party’s perspective of developing for the Saturn vs. the PlayStation
* Developing for Saturn right at the beginning of the system’s life as compared to towards the end
* Discussion about the state of the industry
* And much, much more!

Knight0fDragon JUST started working on an English Translation Patch for Shadows of the Tusk on May 2, 2023, and now on May 5, 2023, all options and battle menus and dialogs appear to be finished. All that remains to be translated is the story mode text. This patch also works with Joe's NetBand Tunnel version for Online NetPLay.
Growing up in the 90's was a blast! We witnessed the return of video games from a dire market crash and saw them flourish and go on to break the 3D barrier and beyond. It was a very exciting time in video game history, and I have many stories and memories that I would love to share with folks!
Here's the story of a 90's kid's gaming journey from grade school to high school.
I hope you all enjoy it.
