Debug Menu for Shining Wisdom (SEGA Saturn) Finally Found!

RINGS OF SATURN: I looked at *Shining Wisdom*, the Saturn RPG from Sonic!
Software Planning and stumbled on a cheat code that's stayed hidden for 30 years.
It enables the game's debug menu, which allows you to warp to any location; grants extra items; and more.

To activate debug mode in *Shining Wisdom*, enter above sequence on the name entry screen using controller 2.
It's a long cheat code, but mistakes don't count against you - you just have to eventually enter all of the buttons.
The debug menu isn't translated, but it's not super hard to figure out what its functions do. My favorite items are:
* R button to warp anywhere
* L button to get extra items

SEGA Talk #178: US Box Art Design (1989-2001)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b8-5qwZYQA

In this episode of Sega Talk, we track the radical evolution of SEGA’s North American branding, from the clinical “graph paper” grids of the Master System to the high-tech “black box” era of the Genesis. We dive deep into why Sega abandoned its uniform look for the iconic red-stripe rebrand of the 90s, the switch to the massive plastic long-boxes of the Saturn, and finally, the Dreamcast’s sleek transition from bright orange swirls to the edgy “SegaNet” black. It’s a nostalgic look at how Sega used graphic design as a weapon in the console wars, shifting from a toy company aesthetic to a lifestyle brand that defined a generation.

Developed by the Utah-based Deseret Games Studio, Aegis Force has just successfully raised $11,140 on Kickstarter, which might not sound like a lot but comfortably beat its initial $2,500 goal.
The game will boast colourful pixel-art visuals, turn-based strategic combat, exploration outside of battle, and a complex plot, all set in an "intricately detailed world with secrets to discover".
"Aegis Force: The Scorian War tells the story of two countries — one empowered by magic, the other by technology — who have been at war for 100 years with no end in sight, and nobody seems to remember how it began," says the team behind the game.
"Players will travel across ..."
