What is This Nameless, Unreleased GBA Game Developed By Marvelous Entertainment?
By Justin Massoud
Back in 2001, GBA owners could have been treated to this Star Wars-esque space shooter if Marvelous Entertainment had published it. But it didn’t. Now, the only person to experience the unnamed game could be you. That’s right – gamesniped.com announced that it’s currently listed on eBay with 6 days left in the auction. If you’re interested, make sure your PayPal account is loaded. The current standing bid for the item is $91 after just 8 bids. From the sounds of it the game is pretty rough around the edges, but playable.
From the description: “The game itself is GBA Unreleased 3d polygon space shooter. Very raw/unfinished. I wrote them about it in ’08, but they had no idea what it was. Trying to find it a good home. You can fire regular lasers and large “atomic” bombs which detonate and take out large groups of enemies. Eventually you reach the “deathstar” (which you enter in a very cool and seemless fashion (good job animators). Very much like starfox/star wars here, as barriors randomly pop up from the floor and ceiling (which you must try to avoid, of course). Everything is rendered in 3-D. There is a sticker on the reverse for Marvelous entertainment. I wrote to them in ’08, but no-one knew had any recollection of what this game was called.”
