Recently with the entire SuperSEGA FPGA scam fiasco I was reminded of a game sitting on my shelf....Paprium for Sega Genesis! Watermelon Games promised the best beat em up ever made....then shipped a couple hundred cartridges and went missing! Then there was the Paprium kickstarter...which took in near to one million dollars in 2022...and has not been heard from since! Underrated Sega Genesis games are one thing...this is ANOTHER. Will Fonzie and Watermelon Games ever deliver? or was it a Kickstarter scam? I mean Pier Solar existed but...
