Ok me and SoS were playing a emulator and I was looking at everything on it and came across Harry Potter...so we checked it out. It was like a version of Pac-man, but it was 3d.

My point in having this topic I guess is to ask: What is up with a Harry Potter game being on the Genisis, how can something be made into a video game before it was even thought of?

It's called a 'hack'. People take old games and change the sprites around and stuff. I have a Kid Icarus hack where the enemies and items are all things from other NES games.

That or J.K Rowling is a mad genius who derived 5 books out of an old Genesis game.

Whilst Momiji's right about the hack thing, I feel it should also be pointed out that some mad, beautiful people are still making new Genesis games (http://www.beggarprince.com/).

It said it was released in the US, then howcome I never heard of it? Surely if it has been that long I would've heard about it on the web or G4.

Fascinating. But you'd think by now a company making 16-bit gaming would know better than to use ugly-people portraits. The character art makes me think of 1992. After Phantasy Star and such it is possible to use attractive art :[

Still the idea has merit and intrigues me~

Thats probably just region that the hack was made off of. Also the region on it probably is just so you know the language.

To further prove my point:

This is what the original game looks like.

This is what the hack looks like, in the exact same place.

Sorry they were both on my desktop and therefore smaller pictures, but I was just making a quick example because this does not require elaborate illustration. ;)
