Kartoon Kombat [MD/G - Cancelled]
12 Jun 2009Do you remember that damaged ROM of a cancelled genesis game that was found by Mr. Mark? It was Kartoon Kombat, an arcade fighting game developed by American Technos, that was planned for the Sega Genesis, something like a parody of Mortal Kombat with cartoon characters. Sadly, as the ROM is broken we’ll probably never [...]

Ninja Gaiden [MD/G - Beta/Unreleased]
4 Oct 2008This is Ninja Gaiden for the Genesis. It is (in theory) a conversion of the 1988 coin-op, but basically the only thing that it is similar to the original is the HUD, because everything else was completely reworked. It was never released (even if some websites claims the opposite) in any region, and since [...]
