       | Thank you for making this. I was genuinely considering a solution
       | at this abstraction level for Megadrive / Sega development .

       | Sega, such a nostalgic dear thing from my childhood! No other

       | The game experience was completely immersive, and it strangely
       | felt both futuristic and absolutely belonging to its time at
       | once. It was pure Zen of gaming. Oh yes, and the grass was
       | greener, of course..)

       | Flashback is still the #1 game ever for me, followed by Earthworm
       | Jim and Mortal Kombat.

       | Very nice! I've been building a drag & drop layer on top of GBDK
       | [1] called GB Studio [2] for making Game Boy games for a few
       | years now. I'm starting to think about how it could support other
       | platforms eventually so this is definitely a project I'll keep an
       | eye on.
