Episode Notes:

1. Music for this episode -
Opening monologue: Darkstalkers Arcade
Master System Segment: Phantasy Star II Genesis
Genesis Segment: Aliens Arcade
Game Gear Segment: Road Rash SMS
Sega CD Segment: Robocop vs Terminator Genesis
32X Segment: Rayman Jaguar
Saturn Segment: REmake Gamecube
Dreamcast Segment: Daytona USA 2 Arcade
Ending monologue: Super Castlevania IV SNES

2. Many of the games in this episode are still unreleased. Many of Sega's arcade games have never been ported to anything.

3. Rayman did make its way to the Atari Jaguar. I assume it is what the 32X version would have sounded similar to.

4. Some of the sound effects for Robocop vs Terminator were used from Terminator CD. You'll recognize a number of the death screams.

5. I think Sega would have been wise to get Daytona USA on the 32X. It was a popular game and even stripped back, I bet it would have driven decent sales.

6. Re-Loaded was also cancelled for the Saturn. It was the sequel to the overhead run n gun Loaded, one of my favorites.

7. Capcom also considered porting Marvel vs Capcom to the Saturn, but with even the Japanese market plummeting, they moved the idea to the DC.

8. There's loads of beta's out there for unfinished games. Most aren't all that great to play, but it's cool to see how far they actually got.
