So I posted about this one a while back, but I didn't have a working Game Gear to test it on.  I finally got one so I thought you guys may like some screen shots:















Taking pictures of a Game Gear screen is not the easiest thing in the world as you can imagine.  After messing with the MAME ROM it appears to be an arcade port.  Unlike many shitastic unreleased games, this one also received fantastic reviews in Gamepro:



The Proto has a small pen mark that says "vidpro", not sure if that sheds light on where it came from.

Hope you guys enjoy the pics!

Thanks for sharing Mark. Isn't Vidpro the company that made the little plastic cards Toys R Us used to display games and everything..

Examples of unreleased games that had Vidpro cards already finished here.

Maybe Vidpro got this proto to start work on a card?

That was thought initially, but I misread what is printed and it actually says "vidpros". Any association with Gamepro at the time?
