Developer’s Den: Digital Pictures

by 3 comments

You can’t be a Sega fan without knowing about Digital Pictures. For almost half a decade, it was the company that seemed to be first out the door on a CD system, and it was practically synonymous with the Sega CD. Founder Tom Zito spread his full-motion video gospel around the industry with utter conviction, even challenging companies like Electronic Arts about who had the better games. There’s a fascinating story behind how this controversial developer/publisher came to be, and we’ve got it right here in the latest installment of Developer’s Den. Miss it not!

Originally released as a Sega CD game, it was cleaned up and became one of the few 32X/CD games made available.

If that piques your interest, we have a full review on it, so read on and see if this one is worth giving a try.

Digital Pictures turned out a ton of full motion video games on the Sega CD. In fact, it’s usually the genre most people remember first when they think of the much-maligned add-on. In an era where multi-media was all the rage, FMV achieved heights it has never attained since. Double Switch was a later DP release that was eventually ported to the Saturn and PCs, and it starred none other than fading ’80s star Corey Haim, who once stated that he wanted to be known as “Sega Boy.” Yeah, that Corey Haim.
