Massive two-year project recovers 144 previously undumped Sega Genesis game ROMs from the mid-1990s — lost Garfield and Flintstones games among the notable finds

The Video Game History Foundation successfully recovered 144 previously undumped Sega Genesis game ROMs from the mid-1990s, including lost Garfield and Flintstones games. These ROMs were found on tape backups from former Sega Channel staffers, showcasing exclusive titles like Garfield Caught in the Act: The Lost Levels and The Flintstones Movie Game. The Sega Channel, a pioneering digital game distribution service launched in 1994, provided subscribers with a rotating roster of games via the U.S. cable TV network. Additionally, the project uncovered a functional but unreleased web browser for the 16-bit console, adding to the preservation of gaming history.
