Revision as of 07:52, 26 August 2018
This article is deprecated. There is a new automated version: List of unreleased Mega Drive games which will read data from the pages themselves. Do not bother to update this list - make pages and add the details there. This list will get shorter as time goes on. When it is empty, this page will be deleted. |
Over the course of the Sega Mega Drive's lifetime, a number of games went unreleased. Sega VR games are not listed here — see the main article for details. This list also omits games that did not make it past the concept phase, like Spinny and Spike.
Note: the Mega Drive Command & Conquer ROM, long believed to be an unreleased port, is actually an unfinished pirate.
"Concept and Design Only"
might as well
- Spinny & Spike (TODO find those references again
- http://vgmdb.net/album/1818 someone (Ancient?) may have been working on a game called The Stickman is Back
- http://turbo-boing.com/about Arena?
- Zaxxon's Motherbase 2000 protos have SVP support strings
- http://www.gamengai.com/cmnt_inf.php?id=1436&type=0
