Wow. Could this be a sign of an unexpected end of “school playtime” in the retro world?

For decades retro has been commercially abandoned, only passion brought people, so we’ve been free to build and play.

If there’s money to be won (or not actually, but some people believe it), old right-holder companies might wake up and set a plan of developing (cheaply, AI has lowered cost to do something), selling and changing the mood for everyone?

GX4000 and Master System ports are possible. On the MSX2, it would be fabulous as well.

Since the period Megadrive version was a resounding failure, a new one wouldn’t hurt.

Likewise, on the Atari ST, the graphics were rushed for the final levels, so an enhanced STe version would look stunning.
