20 years ago Mike Stragey and Chris Tremmel began working on a game for the Sega Genesis at Interplay Productions. The only requirement was that the game needed to be both fun AND gross. The idea was to appeal to the "Garbage Pail Kids" generation. Several concepts were pitched to the bosses Brian Fargo and Alan Pavlish. Some were incredibly funny, some were incredibly offensive. From this primordial design ooze, Boogerman was born!

The game took roughly a year to develop and was released on the Sega Genesis in November, 1994. Initial reviews praised it as "a total gas!" and "An instant classic!"

For the last 20 years, Mike and myself have been busy programming and designing games for studios like Virgin Interactive, Crystal Dynamics, Electronic Arts, Activision, Insomniac Games, and Way Forward. Credited titles include Boogerman, The Lost Vikings, Robocop VS Terminator, Clay Fighter, Gex 2, Gex 3, Walt Disney World Racing, LotR The Two Towers, Return of the King, The Third Age, Kung Fu Panda, Fuse, Shantae, Contra 4, Shantae: Risky's Revenge and more!

We have talked about doing a new Boogerman for years and now thanks to Kickstarter, the timing feels perfect! Mike and I are now 100% dedicated to this project and with your help and support we will be able to "re-boot" the franchise and bring a brand new Boogerman to the latest and greatest gaming consoles for all to enjoy.
