"A Neo-Geo dev board"
Sometimes prototypes never really even develop to the point of being a fully
playable game but get stuck at the ‘tech demo’ stage where art assets etc.
are still being created.
NeoTurfMasta ended up uncovering the board for a Neo-Geo game in this state
and posted his findings on neo-geo.com.
We have no idea what the game was destined to be had the project continued,
but whatever it is it gives an early glimpse into what could have been.
Unfortunately due to the use of SRAM cards for the ‘S1’ ‘M1’ and ‘V1’
ROM data the entire text layer (energy bars etc.) and sound is missing,
those things were only meant for short term storage and the batteries had
clearly been dead for many many years. Luckily the C rom data and program
roms did not use that type of card, so their data survived.
Here’s a video of it running in MAME
