This teeny-tiny article needs some work. You can help us by expanding it.
Over the course of the Sega Mega Drive's lifetime, a number of games went unreleased:
| Name | Involved Companies | Details | ROM Found and Released? |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD2001/Power Ball AD2001 | HiCom | Info on this page is all that's known. | No |
| Akira | THQ | Shown in Player One #44, Console Plus #44, and Console Plus #35. Cancelled for unknown reasons. | No |
| "Amegedon" Project | ?? | Info on this page is all that's known. | No |

| Beyond Zero Tolerance | Technopop | The sequel to Zero Tolerance. Cancelled when Technopop closed down. The copyright holders eventually released a prototype ROM to the Internet. | Yes |
| City Heroes | Samsung | All that's known comes from this Hardcore Gaming 101 article: Developed by the Uzu Keobukseon team and intended for international release; it was cancelled because the then-new South Korean game censorship laws were so confusing that they got lost trying to censor the otherwise completed game. | No |
| Converse Hardcore Hoops/Converse City Ball Tour | Virgin | Announced in GamePro #72 and CD Consoles #8. Cancelled for unknown reasons. | No |
