For some reason, I have fond memories of that game on 3DO.
I remember the Bootup sequences so well kicking up with White Zombies'sThunderkiss 65 and the Naughty dog flag logo.

The game was pure crap but it was good pure crap :)
And the zooming lava pit fatality was awesome.

PS. lol just watched the whole intro on the article and missed mentioning the Universal Interactive logo before still my memory was spot on lol.

@RetroCaptainSteve - for sure, it's always fun seeing how certain companies started out. Much like Blizzard starting with old titles like Rock n' Roll Racing or the Lost Vikings back on the SNES. Granted those old titles were actually good though :P

Never heard of a Towns Marty, apparently for good reason, but it's always insane to see Sega's distractions in this period.‎‎
