Many details remain uncertain regarding the Digitizer System. The first one is related to the light pen itself, still featured in pictures of the system taken in 1988 but not in later photographs. During the 2018 Game developers conference, Naoto Ohshima talked about Sonic (1991), saying that he designed the graphics by drawing pixels one by one with a light pen. If his memory serves him right, it would mean that the Digitizer System could be controlled by two kind of devices in 1990-91.

Another unanswered question: when did Sega start using the Digitizer System to develop console games? Apart from the first Sonic, we know that Moonwalker (1990) and Golden Axe II (1991) were developed with this tool but I haven’t find anything regarding earlier Mega Drive games.
