moycon Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Anybody have any info on the SEGA games that were announced. Games like: The Fall Guy Friday the 13th Airplane 48 Hours War of the Worlds I remember as a kid when I read about these games it was in a gaming magazine...Probably Electronic Games. It seems to me they had a small picture with some MOC boxes. I was very excited as I love games based on movies. Surely Sega had to pay something to get the rights to the titles. Did they just abandon the games before work was even started on them? I think I asked this once before without much response. Probably because there isn't a whole lot of info about the "games" If you had asked me a year ago what undiscovered game I'd want found I would have said Lord of the Rings and any one of these games. Anybody have info or opinions on these un-released titles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugclone Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 i've personally never heard of these games, but is sure would love to see anything on Friday the 13th (i'm a big fan!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Different Friday the 13th. The game wasn't supposed to be based on the movies, just on the date itself. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Cafeman Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Isn't there a first-person perspective driving game called The Fall Guy on CV? Same game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 48 Hours would have been freakin' sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 I'd have to disagree about Friday the 13th. Although I have nothing to go on but an old picture I can remember as a kid. The box cover for Friday the 13th was definately modeled after the horror movies. I was and still am a big horror movie fan and that one game in particular stands out. Plus it would seem strange that Sega would licence and announce all these games based on movie titles but then throw in a title the had nothing to do with the movie.... Keeping in mind that although they don't now. Paramount owned and distributed all the titles that Sega had announced back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 11, 2002 Author Share Posted July 11, 2002 I will try to find the picture but I suspect it will be very difficult as I cut up alot of my older gaming magazines from that time. I serched the web but so far have come up empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Well then Joe and the DP guide are wrong. I thought it was weird myself, but I assume they got their info from a reliable source. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapdash Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 @Tempest: are you sure about Friday the 13th? I thought they were all movie-based games, because Sega was owned by Gulf & Western at the time and they had some easy licenses through them.

Jess Ragan Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Note that they're all Paramount films. Arrgh... what did Sega ever do to deserve being owned by PARAMOUNT?! (Considers the premature deaths of the Dreamcast and Saturn, and the moronic 32X) What did they do back *then*, I mean. I'm just glad they've broken free from Gulf and Western's diabolical grasp before Viacom bought the company. If they hadn't, all those crappy Nicktoons games would be released by Sega rather than T*HQ, and nobody would want that. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashnooga Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 32x for life Check out this report someone did on the WONDERRFUL 32x It's big, It's bulky but it rules... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 32x for lifeIt's big, It's bulky but it rules... Finally, someone else who likes the 32X. It's my favourite bit of gaming hardware. Not for the games, but for the shear complexity. I've got a complete Mega Drive II, Mega CD II, 32X rig at home. Huge. Virtua Fighter is superb on it. Its version of Doom is smoother than the Saturn version, though much lower res. But here's a better link: http://www.atani-software.net/segabase/Seg...gaBase-32X.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moycon Posted July 12, 2002 Author Share Posted July 12, 2002 That is the picture YES!! Thanks! As you can see by the artwork on Friday the 13th it was clearly modeled after the film. Scared kids sitting around a campfire. Plus the font used in the title is exactly the same as the film. And the bloody 13. Thanks for the pic!! I had forgot about Dragonslayer. Now if only some of these games would surface. Hell I'd just settle for someone who had info on the games... and not on the frickin 32x SEGA games either.

Plus the font used in the title is exactly the same as the film. And the bloody 13. Of course, the title and the artwork don’t guarantee that the game itself would have borne any resemblance to the movies...much like Friday the 13th: The Series. Just a thought.

NE146 Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 Finally, someone else who likes the 32X Hey I love the 32x as well. I pretty much love every piece of videogame hardware I've gone through and the 32x definitely has it's place as far as cool games I've played. Incidentally have you tried the recent release of Gens? 32x emulation has come a long way.. matter of fact I just got through playing a nice round of 32x Virtua Racer Deluxe and a little bit of 32x Doom right here in a little window next to AtariAge. ..course I could always break out the console but sometimes that gets a little difficult Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolenta Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 The boxart for the various games is off of a flier that was given out at CES in 1982 or 1983. The games themselves were never shown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Monkey Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 I would imagine a VCS version of Airplane! might not quite have the same zaniness to it as the film... Player 1: "Look! Ha HA! The crew has turned to jelly!" Player 2: "I don't get it... they are still all pink and blocky" Player 1: "HA! HA ha! 'Joey... do you like films about gladiators?'" Player 2: "What?!?! ...Can we play Skeet Shoot?" Any ideas on the "Muffett" game play? The box kinda gives the idea that it was to be a new twist on the curds and whey story: IE add a gun...

nashnooga Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 ..course I could always break out the console but sometimes that gets a little difficult yeah pretty hard with those HUGE ac adapters that take up 2-3 outlets on a surge protector btw anyone have one of those sega surge protectors?

Inky Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 The Fall Guy does exist in a prototype for the Colecovision. I actually played it a long time ago back in the 80's when I was the games editor for the Norern Illinois Adam Users Group (NIAD) I know you can download it and play it on ADAMEm, but I can't remember where to get it. It's a decent game. first part is a 3rd person driving game, and the second part is a platformer. It's a bit hard at first, but once you get the timing down, it's quite fun.
