In 1993, Bethesda's parent company Media Technology established a Danish division called Media Technology Scandinavia to expand its operations in Europe. Former Bethesda programmer Jørgen Bech recounted that he had worked on a version of Datastorm for the Sega Genesis. Development took longer than expected to get the game running on Genesis hardware, and while it was eventually completed, its release was cancelled because Bethesda didn't think it was commercially viable to release games for the Genesis or SNES in 1994, where they believed only rare breakout hits like Earthworm Jim (1994) could find success.[74][75][76]
