Stephen "Snake" Palmer, commonly known as Steve Snake, is a British video game programmer with numerable game industry experience, most notable for developing a number of personal computer ports of popular arcade games, and for creating the renowned Sega Mega Drive emulator Kega.
History
Palmer is a veteran of the early British games industry and a longtime member of the Sega emulation scene. His current project and the latest incarnation of his Sega emulator is Kega Fusion, an emulator that spans various Sega consoles. He was also a programmer in the 1980s and 1990s, coding games such as Rodland for the Commodore 64 and NBA Jam Tournament Edition for the the Sega Mega Drive.
