How was Blue Almanac, why never ported?

[Xian042]

I came across this title looking in an old gaming magazine from 1991, it listed Blue Almanac as an upcoming title. I looked it up and I see it was never released in any english format.
Was the game any good?

I believe it was Sage's Creation that was translating the game and going to release it in the US, but they folded before it was released.

I'm amazed that a translated beta or anything has never surfaced. Sega Visions magazine actually reviewed the game in one of their early issues and had ads for it. There has to be a mostly complete version floating around out there somewhere.

I always thought it looked like a really cool sci-fi Phantasy Star/Cosmic Fantasy style RPG.

DrX put his hands on the complete English translation ROM called Star Odyssey and intended to dump it publically, but later on changed his decision for reasons not told.

Awesome! So the translated Sage's Creation version did surface?

I forgot they changed the name to Star Odyssey. Well, as Xian said, maybe we'll see it sometime in the near future.

He said he would not release it publically, so I'm not really optimistic about it.

just watched some youtube video of the game in action, looks like we aren't missing THAT much.
