Swamp Thing is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game based on the DC comic book series of the same name. It was developed by Microsmiths and had it been released, the game would have been published by Nuvision Entertainment.[1]
A prototype of the game was dumped by SegaAge in November 2010.[2] It depicts the game as a sidescroller where you play as Swamp Thing hitting enemies. You also have the ability to transform into nearby objects such as logs. Unfortunately there is only one music track used throughout the entire game, and due to the stiff controls the game is very difficult. Due to an error with the dump, the game's data was duplicated eight times. Analysis of the overdump's data shows that the data duplicates do not have any differences, with all of them being identical. The SegaAge dump has not been properly dumped, but a culled version of the ROM is available next to the raw overdump. Because of the lack of a redump, the Swamp Thing prototype is not present in most ROM databases.
