Madness: House of Fun is an unreleased Sega Mega Drive game developed by Gremlin Graphics. It is based on the English ska band, Madness and presumably their 1982 #1 hit House of Fun (re-released in 1992).
Madness: House of Fun was a platform game, though despite its name, was unlikely to feature any of the members of Madness. Instead it was to feature a character called "Mr. Smash", loosely based on Chas Smash, the band's trumpet player. It was a fourteen-level platform game, which had it been released, would have debuted in late 1994. The game was based on Gremlin's 1992 Amiga game, Harlequin, and would have shared similar aesthetics and gameplay, though the music, would have been changed to Mega Drive interpretations of Madness songs.
Madness: House of Fun was reportedly close to completion before the axe, being previewed in Mean Machines Sega #17 and Mega Force #17. It was cancelled for unknown reasons. No prototypes have been found.
