Megumi Rescue (め組レスキュー) is an unreleased Sega System E arcade breakout game developed by EXA Planning and manufactured by Sega.[1]
Development
Megumi Rescue was planned and designed by EXA Planning, and developed by Eleca.[2]
While fully developed and scheduled for release around 1987 the game ultimately failed its location test and went unreleased[1], although it would eventually see a port to the Sega Master System in July 1988 courtesy of developer Whiteboard.
Aicom would later release a Nintendo Family Computer port of the game in 1989, titled Flying Hero.[3]
Prototype
In 2011, a Megumi Rescue arcade board was listed for sale on eBay. While there was great interest in acquiring and preserving the game, it was unfortunately purchased by a Japanese buyer and will likely never see preservation.[1]
