Hey all!
As I'm sure you can tell, I'm new here. I was a Sega kid back in the early 90's and I still have and really enjoy both my Genesis and Game Gear. I'm finishing up my Game Gear collection and looking over all released games for the handheld and there is one glaring omission that really gets me down sometimes. There was never a Ninja Turtles game for the Sega Game Gear. This was due to Konami having the rights to make the games and a deal between them and Nintendo that didn't stop until near the end of the lifespan of that generation. Thus, there was never a push to put a Turtles game on the less successful handheld.
Still.... the superior technology in the Game Gear always had me scratch my head and wonder what a Ninja Turtles game would have been like on the system. I'm currently in the middle of a project bringing a hypothetical Ninja Turtles game to life. My initial plan was to mod Streets of Rage 2 to have the Turtles in it similar to the Genesis mod of the same game. Due to encryption issues though, I had to let that idea pass me up. Instead, I'm doing everything from drawing 8bit screenshots to coming up with a story and creating an instruction manual for the hypothetical game. It's as close as I'm going to get I suppose. A fun project that's time consuming, but that's basically the only game I can think of that I wish had been created, but never was.
What about you guys? Do you have a favorite system from back in the day that simply never got a game that you were hoping for? Maybe it got a game but it didn't live up to the potential? What's your story?
