Development
Recreational Brainware was led by 2 programmers - Burt Sloane and Jonathan Miller and was based in San Francisco. The Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game was developed by Recreational Brainware in conjunction with Sega of America co-developer, Scott Berfield, who also assisted in the development of the Illinois based NuFX Game Gear game while the Sega Master System game was developed in Japan. A key feature of the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis game was its musical soundtrack composed by Mark Steven Miller and Jim Hedges - one of the first to use tagged musical soundtrack to react with the player's gameplay actions. A semi-sequel to this game in design and concept but unrelated to the Taz-Mania cartoon series was also developed and released by Sega on the same platforms in between 1994-1996 entitled Taz in Escape from Mars. Other different Taz-Mania games were also developed by Sunsoft and released on the SNES and Game Boy.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
“I’ve always been impressed by the different paths babies take in their physical development on the way to walking. It’s rare to see a behavior that starts out with such wide natural variation, yet becomes so uniform after only a few months.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
