Hello,

I operate Game Developer Research Institute.

I've been talking to Tsunetomo Sugawara, former Hertz employee and character designer on Psycho World. I've begun posting the interview here. Much of it still needs to be translated, and I don't know when that's going to happen.

If you can help with the translation OR you have any questions you'd like to ask him, please let me know!

Thanks.

This is absolutely great! Thank you very much!

Psycho World for the MSX2 was our debut work
Way to make your very first game one of the best games EVAR!!!

Looking forward to the completed version!

I have put this on the internet mostly for the SEGA dudes who grew up with Psychic World:

Fantastic! Nice interview!

Well... one question pops into my head: what about the whereabouts of the original sources from their 3 MSX games?! If they would be availble we could learn a lot about it! But most times you get no permission or they just dissapeared cause for example the company does not exist anymore!

CRV thanks for registering to tell us this

Psychoworld is indeed one of the great games for MSX2. I don't have any questions for now... but I'm sure I can up with some

TS: It was. Another working title for the game was Junker's High, but there were unfortunate connotations to this name elsewhere, so we were leaning more towards Cyber Road. It was SIMS that decided to change the name to Out Run 2019.

(SD-)Snatcher?
