    Oh, that early childhood dream that never was, announced in many magazines but never made it to the stores.
    I clearly remember reading that it was produced to at least a playable prototype stage but I can't find any information about it.
    Any ideas?

    Was advertised but never came out, only for home computers.

    I know, I am talking about a possible unfound prototype. I wonder happened to it and if there were any screenshots published somewhere.

    I loved Thundercats as a child. I too was interested in seeing the game but as always, the thing you want most never arrives. Still, at least we have those wonderful out takes from the voice recordings.

    I think that the closest thing is the Amiga version http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ikqb1YBffrE though we should expect fewer colors.
    Elite software did a hideous job with the sound part. Even LJN would do it better (and I bet that they were developing the NES version).

    Indeed, the sound effect when Lion-O jumps is tragic. And the audio in general. As for the gameplay, I used an emulator to try the Amiga version. Well, I've seen worse junk on the NES.:lol:
    I still have a feeling that the NES version would have much better sound, or Nintendo didn't gave a license because of that (and probably that's the reason it was canceled).
