[MODERATOR NOTE: This duplicate post has been merged into this thread] (taken from event hubs) Years ago, Neo Geo began creating a fighting game, but after developing 12 fighters, a handful of stages and a character select screen, they scrapped it. Never again would anyone see the potential that was this mysterious game, until now. Neo Geo enthusiast NeoTurfmasta has discovered a long lost game on a random Dev board purchased in an auction. After a few months of tampering, Turfmasta discovered an unfinished fighting game on the board, and has shared his findings in an NG forum post. He linked up a video of the game's character select screen, which you can watch after the jump, and has uploaded quite a few images of the fighters and backgrounds. You'll see a few in the gallery below: Click images for larger versions The game's uniqueness factor comes in the three variations players could use to enhance their characters. The three variations are lawful, chaotic, and neutral, and each would have a specific effect that boosted a character's attributes.

Nice that it will be available on mame eventually and would love for someone to finish it and make it available on a MVS cart.
Very interesting! I've merged the two topics and left the news article as a redirect. I cleaned it up so it reads well as one, too!
This fighter seemed to have a ton of potential. We can only wonder what could have been. Incredible find.
