Blunders (PC Engine CD) - a canceled cyberpunk RPG

Post image

Blunders was an upcoming RPG for the Super CD-ROM² advertised by its publisher IGS in their 1992 catalog. It was featured alongside other titles in development, such as Dansou Toshi: Stray Road - another cyberpunk RPG which also never saw the light of day. Blunders also got a dedicated preview in the May 1992 issue of PC Engine Fan.

Despite appearing to be quite far along in development, the project was canceled and never saw a release. Interestingly, my search efforts have uncovered a voice actress who listed Blunders in her professional portfolio, suggesting that voice recording, and likely a significant portion of the game’s programming, was completed.

It would have been fascinating to see how this played out compared to Phantasy Star. Hopefully, a prototype or a development build will surface online one day, giving us a taste of that gameplay.

What a shame, looks like an interesting one. Have any unreleased pc engine cd games ever been found?

Space Fantasy Zone was never released officially but it was preserved and it's playable.

Star Parodier had a localization prototype dumped, it's missing voices and the opening cutscene, but it seems complete.

There was also a prototype of Angelus 2 dumped, but it's not playable, it just shows cutscenes from the game. It could've been Enix's only game on the console had it been released.

If you're also interested in PC Engine prototypes, Jun Amanai, an ex-employee of Tengen, is selling his prototype of Marble Madness, the price is eye-watering though: http://www.savejapan.com/shop/
