The Director Behind Cult Dreamcast RPG SEGAGAGA Wants To Translate It Into English

The director of the game, Tetsu "Tez" Okano, has taken to social media to urge developers to create their own SEGAGAGA.
"If SEGAGAGA has a unique significance, it is that it was made on a budget that is a hundredth of Shenmue's, and from nothing but ideas," says Okano. "Please everyone, please make your own SEGAGAGA!"
He also reveals more about the game's development:
The reason why this happened is that SEGAGAGA was made in secret, as it was highly likely to be stopped if shown to many people during the process. I can only thank then-President Oguchi, Mr Takezaki and Mr Sasahara from the PR department for making the decision to launch it.
SEGAGAGA was checked considerably by the publicist at the time, one month before launch. There were a lot of elements that were completely removed, besides the ..."

Mortal Kombat II (Genesis) - "Simple Stage Fatals" Patch



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgY9RVsJyvM

This patch by BillyTime! Games is designed to allow for Simpler Stage Fatalities in Mortal Kombat II for Sega Genesis

How it Works:
--------------------
At the end of a Match, players can simply uppercut an opponent in The Deadpool, Kombat Tomb or Pit II and perform a stage fatality. This operates similar to MK1's Pit mechanics.

Stage Fatality inputs are still accepted and work as intended.
