Development and release
Bouncers was developed by American studio Dynamix. Designers included Rhett Anderson, Dave Hensley, Randy Thompson and Tim Midkiff.[5] Anderson and Hensley previously wrote the one-on-one sports game Basketball Sam & Ed as a type-in program for their magazine Compute!'s Gazette in July 1987.[6] In 1988, the duo wrote the similar Arcade Volleyball for Commodore 64 which Thompson and Midkiff promptly ported to the Amiga.[7] Bouncers features art and cartoon cutscenes created by John Garvin, who later went on the become a lead designer and creative director on the Syphon Filter series.[8][9][10] Voice acting in Bouncers was performed by Michael Bell, Mark Hamill, and John Kassir.[5] The game was released by Sega exclusively for the North American Sega CD in December 1994.[11][12] Christopher Stevens and Timothy Steven Clarke contributed to the music and sound effects. Stevens and Clarke left Dynamix shortly before the game was released to establish LoudMouth, Inc., a game music production company. [13] Tracks from Bouncers were included on the group's 1995 album Get Loud! vol. 1 alongside selections from other Dynamix titles.[14]
