Comix Zone appreciation thread.

Two things:

1. SEGA got a patent on thew cartoon panel beat 'em up where you go through different comic panel beating the shit out of enemies. Is that patent still valid or expired?

2. Why the fuck was there never a Comix Zone 2? Was it because they made it right at the end of the Genesis'/Megadrive's lifespan and they figured it didn't have enough fans and thus not profitable?

Anyway, cool game. It's even better if you can finish it in half an hour.

Pretty much. I think it was overlooked by many. The game was in development for a long time, they basically finished what they've could at the last second.

Just looked it up, the patent expired around 2017. Funny thing is, it wasn't granted until 2000 though they applied for it back in 1994.

Anyway, it's a fun game but way too short and lacking in content. Also the flow is literally vignette based by design, so playthroughs get very samey even with the two paths per page.
