In May 2006, an independent, California-based developer called Super Fighter Team made history when it brought Beggar Prince, a Sega Genesis RPG originally released by C&E in Taiwan in 1996, to Sega Nerds everywhere. This was notable because it was the first commercially released Genesis title since the mid ’90s.
Complete with an authentic Genesis box art and case, Beggar Prince met with commercial success during Super Fighter Team’s first two production runs. In November last year, the developer released its third production run, which featured tweaked box art and support for game saves on other Genesis supported hardware like the Nomad and 32X.
Brandon Cobb, the president of Super Fighter Team, recently sent us a copy of the game and was gracious enough to sit down and answer some of our questions.
