Earl was then contracted by InterPlay Productions to finish the game. With no support team, Earl had to develop tools to convert art to Sega CD format and movies to Cinepak format.
Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster originally began as a late title for the Mega-CD. In 1996, Alexandria began development on the original Mega-CD version of Frankenstein: Through the Eyes of the Monster, with programmer Earl Stratton tasked with converting the game to the platform.[2] Ultimately, development would be shifted to the Sega Saturn, where it would eventually be released the following year.
