Talk:Randy Fugaté

To do

• Forum post with link and information and Fugate's work on some unreleased 32X ports.
• Worked at "Sega Studios, Beverly Hills". Meaning some SoA division/team/etc in Beverly Hills. Which studio is this? I'm sure it'll be easily found but anyway.
• "Fugate Digital" gets more leads, might be something there.
