NEVER RELEASED GAMES II
Hard Drivin'
This must be a joke! I was looking through an old magazine I had and I came across the boxart for Hard Drivin for Nintendo. This game was planned by Tengen. I own the Sega Genesis version which is basically a slow paced poor graphics racing stunt game. I think that it was probably good that Hard Drivin was cancelled. If the Sega Genesis version was bad, can you imagine the Nintendo version?
HellRaiser
 
This game was one of two games planned using Color Dreams' Super Cart technology. For more information, click here
Metal Man
Metal Man is another one of these "advertise on the Aladdin Deck Enhancer box but never release" titles. I really cannot say much from the picture. Seems like Capcom would have sued Camerica if Camerica released this game since it has the name Metal Man.
Police Academy
This is yet another one of those unreleased Tengen games. Well actually there are two different Police Academy games for Nintendo. Steve Woita made the one. It was a fun action game that play tested well, infact it was half way done. It was scrapped when Tengen decided to place other people to do the Police Academy game. The second version was a Mario 2 - like game which tested poor. This version never came out either.
Shadowgate II
Everyone knows of the original Shadowgate, but fewer know about the unreleased sequal. The story was like this: Right before Jair's wedding, a Dark Wraith kidnaps Jair's betrothed. Another thing about this game is it takes place in the caves beneath Shadowgate and the Darkmages and Goblins found there.
Super Pitfall II
 
Another game that went unreleased was Super Pitfall II. Super Pitfall II's prototype has been found and it sold on e-bay. The game was pretty much complet. The sounds, graphics, and many other aspects were all done. I know not why this game was unreleased, maybe because the first one wasn't very good?

Starblade
Starblade, another unreleased Color Dreams game. I really can't say much judging by the box art.
Targhan
Targhan was planned for Nintendo by Color Dreams. The game looks cool judging by the box art. Judging by the PC versions this game looks like a swords fighting game.
Team Sports Basketball
This is another one of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer never released games by Camerica. The game looks like your typical basketball game for Nintendo as far as I can tell.
Xybots
Xybots was planned by Tengen. From the boxart, it looks like it would be a space shooter like game. The boxart came out of an old Tengen games ad I have, that is why part of Shinobi's box art is shown in front of the Xybots box.
