|  Released: 1997---System: Satellaview Classification: TRUE LEGEND/LOST LEGEND Description: Ancient Stone Tablets (AST) was released for a system entitled The Satellaview. The Satellaview is an attachment that attached to the bottom of the Super Famicon (Super Nintendo in Japan). This system allowed Nintendo to launch games through a satellite launch. The only way to play this game was to wait for Nintendo (once a week) to launch the game and then you had a time limit in which you needed to finish the "episode." When the "episode" was done, you no longer could play through the section of the game. Hence the time limit in some of the screen shots. Also, during the time when the "episode" was live, you also had a live broadcaster that was constantly giving out clues as you played. This was actually voiced by a real person while the game was live. AST had a total of four episodes in which you could play as a girl or boy, unnamed, and thrown into the world of A Link to the Past.
|  Released: n/a---System: Game Boy Color Classification: LOST LEGEND Description: When the trilogy of Game Boy Color games was first announced, the titles were Mystical Seed of Courage, Mystical Seed of Wisdom, and Mystical Seed of Power. The latter two games were eventually released as Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. But what happened to Mystical Seed of Courage? That game was slated to feature the time-traveling mechanic that ended up being Oracle of Ages, except the time travel seemed to be restricted to times of the day, with certain events happening only in the morning or night. (The original Mystical Seed of Wisdom game had a theme based on colors, which ended up being scrapped entirely.) No one knows how far along the third game was before Capcom pulled the plug; the game has never been shown to the public, and except for its logo, no images of it are known to exist." It was said later that the reason of this third game being scrapped was because of the fact that making a third game within the code system was too difficult for its time. Rumors float around the internet that after they were renaamed, Mystical Seed of Courage was renamed to Oracle of Secrets.
