@felipepe Hank really only says He didn't find a crpg for sale in japan when he decided to start developing one(around february/march 1983, probably), which might very well BE true. There is an RPG called Dragon Lair discussed in a japanese magazine in december 1982, but it might have been rather obscure (and according to HG101 probably made in california.)
It is however wrong that Henk moved from Holland to Hawaii. He moved to New York with his mother when he was 11.

Re: Sega Resurrects The Iconic "Sega Scream" For Sonic Superstars
They used it in the Sonic Frontiers ad campaign already, so it seems nostalgia is part of their strategy for the franchise.
