Unreleased Mega Drive games

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.

Name	Involved Companies	Details	ROM Found and Released?
AD2001/Power Ball AD2001	HiCom	Info on this page is all that's known. Was almost completed according to former HiCom employee Jason Park.	No

Casper (Mega Drive)	Riedel Software Productions, Hi Tech Expressions	Info on this page is all that's known.	No
Cybernauts: The Next Breed	Accolade	Advertised by Accolade in the packages for some of their later games... and a lot of other places too. Cancelled along with Fireteam Rogue below because they were overmarketed to the point that there would be no realistic way to have the games completed the way they were advertised and still be fun — so new Accolade management dropped them. Previewed in Mean Machines Sega #20.	No
Doctor Who	Sega	Previewed in Mean Machines Sega #22. Apparently connected to the 1996 TV movie.	No
Environmental Detective	Magicom	Shown in some issue of Mean Machine (TODO FIND OUT WHICH). Cancelled for unknown reasons.	No
EXP: The Excellent Potato	Open Production	Info on this page is all that's known. A DOS version was completed and released in Korea.	No
Fun Car Rally	MagiCom	Prototype of Accolade's Combat Cars. BKK on Sega-16 reveals that MCOM in the game's ROM is likely to be MagiCom because they were developing Mega Drive games around the ROM's date, and one person who worked with them later founded Funcom, who held the rights to Combat Cars before Accolade. The title music appears to have been taken from The Beach Boys' Fun Fun Fun (or possibly Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode). The name entry music may be Get Out Of Your Lazy Bed by Matt Bianco. The reasons for the title and music changes are unknown.	Yes
