    When did you first hear of M2?

    Frank Cifaldi: The first time I ever heard of M2 was when they were working with Sega on the Sega Ages series for the PS2. I was already a long-time fan and advocate for game preservation through software emulation, and I thought the Ages strategy of repackaging these games on modern systems was brilliant.

    Mike Mika: If we go a little further back, I discovered M2 on the Genesis with their amazing port and update of Gauntlet, which they called Gauntlet IV. It was the primary reason I bought a Genesis. I was absolutely smitten with the game and that led to becoming a die-hard fan of the team behind it.
