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:
“As long as fathers rule but do not nurture, as long as mothers nurture but do not rule, the conditions favoring the development of father-daughter incest will prevail.”
—Judith Lewis Herman (b. 1942)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
“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)
