The world's premier resource for SEGA's arcade and console hardware legacy!
For many, the years spent working at Sega during the 16-bit era went by far too quickly. Be it from the ever-changing market or from just having so much fun, those years packed a ton of activity. For former associate producer John Pedigo, they were especially productive, seeing the release of several major titles and a few canceled ones as well.
Many of our favorite games actually owe their releases to a small group of people or even a single producer. Some now-classic Genesis games got their chances to shine thanks to producers with a keen vision of quality. Among them was Mac Senour, who had major influence in the release of classics like Gunstar Heroes and Ranger-X.
Aquatic hero James Pond is trying to make a comeback via Kickstarter, and we just had to get more info on the character’s history and impending return. To that end, Sega-16 recently chatted with Pond creator Chris Sorrell about the development of the series and what the future has in store for the Underwater Agent.
General Chaos is a true Genesis classic, offering great multi-player action for up to four players. One of the minds behind it was Brian Colin, an industry veteran behind arcade classics like Rampage, Xenophobe, and Discs of Tron. Sega-16 was lucky enough to talk with him about his work on Chaos, as well as other Game Refuge projects for the Genesis.
Being an independent contractor during the 16-bit era was pretty hectic, and the games we took for granted on store shelves often had turbulent histories behind them. Kevin Seghetti knows all about that, as he was involved in the creation the Razorsoft titles TechnoCop & Stormlord. He also worked with the Master System and SNES.
