One of the fruits of the 'Mega RPG Project' initiated by Sega in mid=1994 to bring more RPGs to Sega systems. Shining Force CD was one of two M-CD releases to fall under the short-lived incentive's banner.

I didnβt know you worked on this, nice. And yeah, I appreciate the actual team was considerably bigger. But the fact any devs were given credit on the front cover at all speaks off a very different time and place, where games could be steered by the people making them, rather than committees π
