What exactly IS Sega Technical Institute?

Is it like a game college or something?

[WeskerSega]

@pullahoko It was a development studio within Sega of America's offices, which was active between 1991 and 1997.

Wel sorry for that, but i believe this is played on a amiga I think on AmigaVision

(The Power point of then).

[WeskerSega]

@janmansde3dede Effectively, this comes from being designed on an Amiga, but what I mean is that is not properly played since everything is scripted. This is just reproduced by the Amiga as an automated sequence, used in order to get the project pitched.

[janmansde3dede]

You should remove MD/Gen because this is NOT A MEGADRIVE DEMO

Peter morawiec choice of PC was the Commodore Amiga

Every demo's,prototype of him is made and played on a Amiga.

[WeskerSega]

@janmansde3dede I know it's not a Mega Drive demo. The "MD/Gen" tag references the target platform of the game. And this concept demo wasn't either something that could be "played", not even on the Amiga, which only reproduced the automathed sequence. Same goes to the Sonic Spinball concept demo.

I am very glad they ditched Joe Pencil for Sketch Turner.

[Antwan1500]

i said THE shit. its slang you idiot meaning its good. you cant even insult me correctly. i love comiz zone.

[TheEschwank02]

I love the creative minds that made this game.

[6BlackWood9]

this version sucks...

[jooeys]

Pretty surprising how many elements made it into the final product.

[Finalflash50]

I'm so happy it didn't come out like this.

[DemiIoc]

@Astos88 Yeah. Joe Pencil is a corny name and sounds like something out of Action 52.

[fireflocs]

Even this early in development, you lose health for punching breakable objects.

[Astos88]

Sketch Turner sounds so much more radical than Joe Pencil. What a masterpiece of a game.

[LilSoul88]

Joe Pencil's figure is what his last name implies lol

[lordaltros]

the character design looks lame as hell but i like the level layout and the music.

but comix zone is the best.
