Conan is a cancelled beat ‘em up similar to Golden Axe that was in development by Arcade Zone for the Atari Jaguar. The french studio was closed down after Sony decided to not publish their latest Super Nintendo game, as the original Playstation arrived in Europe. Without another publisher they had to give up on releasing Nightmare Busters SNES and Arcade Zone had to shut down. Conan Jaguar vanished with their closure and it’s unknown how much of the game was finished before the cancellation.
At 1Up Games can read an interview with former Arcade Zone’s developers, in which they mention this unreleased beat ‘em up:
Lyes Belaidouni: We even made an attempt on the Atari Jaguar, the stillborn console for which we developed (without bragging) the most beautiful beat’em up with huge sprites and monumental backgrounds ! But this, alas, no one has seen it…
Celine was able to find some screenshots of the game in magazines CD Consoles #2, #5 and GF #95

Nightmare Buster’s publisher , at least in Japan, was Nichibutsu.
