[1/2] Does anyone know who now owns the rights to Midnight Raiders (1994, Sega CD)? It's a live-action, full-motion action game developed by Stargate Productions, directed by Sam Nicholson, and produced by Tony Cabalu. The music was composed by Mars Lasar.

I've played Doki Doki Penguin Land (SG-1000/MSX/Arcade) many, many times in my lifetime and I've never had this happen before. Does anyone know what the trigger is to have the mole appear from the window like that? I'm having troubles trying to recreate this.
