==What platform is this game for?==
 
−
I mean, it's a Sega Mega Drive in code and software (mostly), BUT it can't be played on a normal Mega Drive (I'm pretty sure...) Question is, if ''Outback Joey'' can EXCLUSIVELY be played on the Personal Trainer and nothing else, is it still a Mega Drive game? Are we categorizing the game as a Mega Drive game because the software is being delivered with a Mega Drive cartridge? I ask because we don't categorize Mega LD games as being Mega Drive games despite them being largely Mega Drive software with some added programming to support an additional feature. I guess it just feels different because its on a big ol honkin LaserDisc yknow. But it also makes sense from a format perspective, because its software thats exclusively designed and developed to support that hardware.

By that methodology, Personal Trainer software is the same thing. Largely Mega Drive software with some added programming to support an additional feature. In this case, swap software-based LaserDisc video with software-and-hardware-based fitness sensing and feedback. I don't know, nothing needs changing at the immediate moment, (and really, its just ''Joey'' and ''Outworld''), but hey, thoughts!

To do

  • The game got dumped. Mention it, when, who, why its notable, why it went undumped for so long, its emulation difficulties, etc. Is there a Hidden Palace entry?
  • Is Outback Joey a mascot platformer? I didn't really get any mascot vibes, but I don't know, I guess I can see it. Once I get deeper into the marketing side of this, see if they ever gave him mascot things like tude or whatever.
