An indie studio is developing a new shooter for the Sega Mega Drive with a physical launch date in 2018, yes, that includes cartridges which are playable on the console.

And I took this opportunity to interview the lead developer

Sounds like you could maybe have done with a bit more input from the developer guy for my tastes, but maybe then it'd have gone a bit too techy for a general audience given some of the questions being answered.

Interesting interview anyway, and really gave me an insight into why what appears in some ways to be a slight tweak to smash TV isn't as straightforward as it initially seems.

@mal Yeah, I was hoping to get him on the interview as well. In fact, originally I wanted the entire team on the interview, but sadly everyone was a bit radio shy. >.>

I remember buying the Beggar Prince on a whim when it came out (I know it was a translation and update not a new game but new enough as mega drive games went at the time) but never actually set up the mega drive to play it...

Still always cool to see new stuff on older machines.
