I'm wondering if anybody if these 2 games were released for the SNES in Australia and/or Europe.
Hydr0x mentioned Oscar, and I also have a mag where it's reviewed, but it's not really clear if it's an import review or not. Then again, Oscar was made by Titus, which is an European company.
Daze Before Christmas, I remember reading a review of this game over at SNES Zone. I think it said it was only released in Europe, but I'm not quite sure.
Since I haven't seen both of these games for sale ever, I'm wondering if anybody here knows more about them.

I believe Daze before Christmas was released in Europe but I can't Provide you with any evidence as of this time, as I have yet to get some pics of the game myself, but I have known it to be traded around.
Oscar on the other hand I can both vouch for and provide a little more info on.
As far as release it was one of those multi region releases with the game being tailored for sale in several languages. It was released in europe (although I couldn't pinpoint specific countries in which it wasn't released), the UK and Australia.
Granted my word alone likely means sweet FA, so straight from my info base a few piccies I have (not great examples but enough to prove the game's existance at least)..

i definitely know that daze before christmas was released in europe, cause
i played it in a store in germany when i was a kid.
however, ive been unable to find a copy of it and ive searched for like 4 months ~_~ ( i had it in my list with rare games i search for every 3 days or so)
dunno,maybe they had sample carts to get some feedback and then pulled it?
or only released it in one country and not in whole europe?
[edit]
strange coincidence, i just found it on ebay.de

yeah, there are 2 of them on ebay now XD
this seems to be one of the rarest games yet.
the titus games are uncommon, but not really rare in europe afaik.
btw,has anyone seen gunforce?
i was unable to locate a copy so far.
and chaos engine seems to have been released in uk only.
i saw a review in a german magazine however back in the days.

Speaking of Daze Before Christmas, does anyone know if this got a European Megadrive release? Every one I've seen so far has been Australian.
