Steven Seagal is the Final Option is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive beat-'em-up game developed by an unknown San Francisco-based developer and scheduled to be published by TecMagik. Originally in development for the Nintendo Super Famicom by Riedel Software Productions, TecMagik had also contracted an unknown Western developer to produce a Mega Drive port.
Although the Mega Drive version was set to share the same general gameplay and digitized animation as its Super Famicom version, it was otherwise a unique title. The game was advertised as having over 1,000 frames of animation[3].
History
| “ | Unlike RSP, which was in Arizona, the Genesis dev company was located literally across the street from TecMagik in San Francisco. As we discovered later, this provided them with lots of opportunity to play weird politics against us. The closest thing there ever was to a Genesis version up and running was the utterly bogus “prototype” they put together to show, I think, at CES. Basically, what they did was take the raw Seagal walking animation frames and put him on a black background. He was much larger than our working prototype version and had the benefit of all of the Genesis’ RAM and color palettes being applied to him. So, basically, he looked great, but anyone with the slightest clue knew there was no possible way he could look like that in a real game. The sample environments they showed were done the same way. They looked terrific, but that was because they were using all of the system’s resources to display a single screen image with no characters or anything else going on.
