    Default Why Certain Titles Are Never Released?

    Is there any reason a certain title for a certain system doesn't get released despite being shown in certain catalogs that it might?

    Examples:
    COLECOVISION
    005 (2414)
    Side Trak (2418)
    Spectar (2421)
    Wizard of Wor (2421)
    Rip Cord (2431)
    Mr. Turtle (2432)
    Skiing (2436)
    Chess Challenger (2438)
    Las Vegas (2439 - working title for Ken Uston Blackjack/Poker?)
    Tunnels 'n Trolls (2441)
    Horse Racing (2442)
    Smurf Play 'n Learn (2444)
    Smurfette's Birthday (2444)
    Dracula (2608)
    Sword & the Sorcerer (2619)
    Tac/Scan (2635)
    Wizard of Oz (2636)

    There are many explanations abound as to their cancellations, including but not limited to:
    1. Limited programming time.
    2. Programming difficulties (on-screen sprite limitations, cartridge ROM space and other considerations).
    3. Cost of programming the game.
    4. Licensing negotiations.
    5. Exceeding release quotas.
