Nope, the colourful 1st-person RPG screenshots were featured in Gekkan PC-Engine magazine, back when the guys at Hudson/Red were brainstorming new PC Genjin concepts.

I have a few blurry shots of the magazine here: http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/secrets4.html

more generally unreleased/alpha screenshots here: http://www.disgruntleddesigner.com/chrisc/secret.html

We said it before, and we'll say it again: You have a treasure trove of info on PCE goodies. :) I especially like the table of unreleased games you compiled.

I don't know if those Ziria pics are part of the Idea Dungeon or an early build, but they look very cool. I've seen some early images of Ziria that looked more like Destiny of an Emperor, but those look like a full on street fighting game. Is that Manto they're fighting in one shot?

Those Bonk RPG screenshots look more like the nice ones from EGM. But in the EGM King Drool battle pic I remember there being hit point hearts.

Well, either way I still remember someone, in a magazine or something somewhere, stating that those were fakes or mockup's, & that EGM thought they were the real deal.  Wierd.

Even if they weren't fake, EGM's posted 'real', "exclusive(!)" screenshots that turned out to be bogus several times over the years.  :wink:
