Heavy Machinery, also known as 4xFrenzy[2], is an unreleased shoot-'em-up game by Scavenger for the Sega 32X, and later the Sega Saturn. It was a pseudo-3D on-the-rails shooter, in which players drove vehicles down a road, blasting enemies. The project had originally been slated for the Sega Mega Drive as Nitro Wrecks[3].
Heavy Machinery was reportedly Scavengers' "first" 32X project (in the end, they released no 32X games, moving projects to the Sega Saturn instead), and was to consist of nine missions across various environments. As well as enemies attacking from both land and air, there were to be hazards on the track such as obstacles and water.
The game was reportedly nearly complete before cancelation. It is assumed to have been pulled due to the unpopularity of the 32X platform. It appears to have been briefly considered for a Saturn release, but ultimately, the game would never make it to store shelves.
