Development on ''MediEvil'' began in 1995 at Millennium Interactive in Great Shelford. Originally targetting Windows 95 and the Sega Saturn for release, Sony's interest in publishing the game led to it becoming a PlayStation exclusive. Over the course of development, the game evolved from a simple ''[[wikipedia:Ghosts 'n Goblins|Ghosts 'n Goblins]]''-style arcade experience into a Zeldaesque action role-playing game.
