I am browsing magazines from 1994 so nothing yet. But I started looking for rumors just since 3 magazines...I'll go back and make an intensive search.

Just discovered that Spark for Mega Drive is Pulseman. Maybe Spark was the original name. x_x

[Nicola]

Hardcore for Genesis, Psygnosis

[Roi]

I love your topics Nicola :bday: ;)

[anagrama]

Any chance of some scans of these?
I realise it'd probably be a hassle, but I'd really want some kind of rough idea what each game is before adding them into the database....

I did a similar thing a year or two back, going through a bunch of '92-'94 Sga mags, but didn't keep any records - if & when I get some spare time, I'll flick through them again...

[Nicola]

Please, if you find that something has been released with a different name, post it.

[hydr0x]

thx, great topic

Unluckly screenshots are really scarce. Almost all the titles are just words words words...in italian.
It's just the tip of the iceberg (is it correct?), beware!

[badinsults]

Thunder in Paradise for SNES, Mindscape


I got a little bit of info on this one. It was based on a TV show of the same name (featuring Hulk Hogan). Apparently too buggy to be released or the game was too crappy. It was released on the CD-i, though.

As for Elite, there is some info on the canned SNES version on Nesworld.

http://www.nesworld.com/archives/snselite.htm

I haven't looked into Pinkie or Soccerama, though.

maybe they made some mistakes with Ridge Racer: in the same page they say:

Solvalou for 3DO (and maybe Saturn), Namco

I wonder if they released a Volume Two for the SNES game "Lord of the rings"???

If they released a Volume one (which you can see on every box), there must be a Volume Two.....

Anybody out there who knows something about that???

[hydr0x]

no, no Volume 2

the Volume 1 referrs to Volume 1 of the Book Trilogy, it doesn't mean there's more than 1 game ;)
