Great to read this research! It sounds like we may never know what happed to this game, it at least there’s some video evidence of it…and it seems like Rare didn’t take much interest during development as they should have (although this may be similar to how they use external dev teams during Rare’s lifespan)
I’d forgotten about this ad, as a gamer it was very confusing at the time, but no more so than the Alien Girl ads for PS1 before it! RIP David Lynch, recently rewatched all seasons of Twin Peaks with my daughter and we both loved it (so much so she bought a Twin Peaks jacket).
I only just saw this article today, absolutely love that letter from “Sega”! It ranks alongside “Please excuse Jimmy from PE as he has a sore leg. Signed, my parents”
Putting the price of newly produced carts up makes sense, but am I missing something, or does increasing the price of stock that retailers have already purchased not just mean that the extra profit goes to the retailer and not to Blaze? So that won’t benefit Blaze at all.
Re: your comment about the stubby stick on the controllers not being the best, assuming they’re the same as the original 7800 UK controllers then you can unscrew the stick and use just the pad definitely works better for a lot of games!

Re: Unreleased Atari Jaguar Title 'Livewire' Getting Physical Release Decades Later
What’s does “mini-cart” mean? If it works on a real Jag then I presume it’s a full-size cart…or is it just that it’s quite small data-wise?
I could probably Google it but it would be helpful if the article explained the term
