Which announced but unreleased Turbo game are you most disappointed about not being released for the domestic Turbo. I pulled together a list of good ones that were announced at various times but not released.

good thread Dan.  That is a sad list of excellent games.  *sigh*

I voted Cosmic Fantasy III as CF2 was one of the best selling turbo CD games, and we could have used another game in the series state side to help sales... but... yeah..

What really disappointed me were games like Dracula X and Ys IV not even being considered for release in the U.S.!!

They both came out too late. By the time those two came out in late 1993 the Turbo was almost dead. TTI was out of business just a few months later. In the case of Dracula X, they also would have had to license it from Konami which would have cost more than they had to spend. Remember, they didn't even have the money to release games they had already licensed, hence the list.

Added in edit: Well, 3 of the games on that list were Working Designs games (the two Neo-Geo ports and CF3). So you can't blame TTI for all of it.

Far East of Eden 2, and Bonk IV: Bonk RPG (prob higher for Bonk as it never got release at all).

Probably Bonk IV, King of the Monsters, and that Dangerous Journeys D&D game, since they don't exist on the PCE either.

I voted for Far East of Eden 2, cause I freaking love that game even though I can't understand a lick of it!  When I heard it was supposedly coming state side I was so excited.  Alas it was not to be.... :cry:

Does Neutopia 3 count as announced? I'm pretty disappointed that never came out.

Bonk RPG definitely. CF3 would have been great too.

if it does, then Legendary Axe III and a third 'Thunder' game should count too....

Wasn't a third "Thunder" game shown off but not released for the IronMan/PC-FX?

My vote was for the Bonk RPG.  If it turned out half as good as the Super Mario RPG on the SNES it would have been awesome!

yea, Lords of Thunder FX.  Jesus, talk about Epic.

I thought there was also a demo of an Air Zonk in 3D roaming around too, probably best that never saw the light of day anyway.  :P
