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.[2] While it failed its location test and went unreleased[2], it would eventually be ported to the Sega Master System in July 1988 as Megumi Rescue, courtesy of developer Whiteboard.
Development
Megumi Rescue was planned and designed by EXA Planning, and developed by Eleca.[1]
While fully developed and scheduled for release around 1987 the game ultimately failed its location test and went unreleased[2], although it would eventually be ported to the Sega Master System in July 1988 as Megumi Rescue courtesy of developer Whiteboard.
Aicom would later release a redesigned 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.[2] While there was great interest in acquiring and preserving the game, it was purchased by a Japanese buyer and is unlikely to see preservation.[2]
