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
AD2001/Power Ball AD2001 HiCom Info on this page is all that's known. A prototype has yet to be found.
"Amegedon" Project ?? Info on this page is all that's known. A prototype has yet to be found.
Bean Ball Benny Nuvision Cancelled when Nuvision went under. Lost Levels is known to have put up a CES flier for the game, but hasn't properly labelled it as such (TODO). A prototype has yet to be found.
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.
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. The ROM has yet to be found.
