What language and tools were originally used to develop Sega MD/Genesis games? [closed]

Question

Someone has suggested to me it was assembler, though I think there were some visual design tools, too. So how did they make it?

Answer 1

I think it was actually assembler. 68 K assembly, as this article here shows. You can even find the 68K memory map there.

If you are actually interested in doing it, this nice post, does contain a whole lot of information.

If you try, you can even find a sega genesis C compiler ( I haven't tested it myself ),

Answer 2

Many games in the mid90s were developed in C such as Ecco and Sonic Pinball. But most if not all arcade conversions were in Assembly.
