Metal Jack: Armored Police

Metal Jack: Armored Police is Atlus' only unreleased game on the SNES. It was released in Japan as a tie-in to a TV show called Armored Police Metal Jack. Atlus decided to localize the game with a release of December '92 alongside BlaZeon: The Bio Cyborg Challenge, however they cancelled it. Metal Jack was shown in many gaming magazines from GamePro to EGM, where it was mentioned to be 90% finished by October '92, and its likely it got finished in time for release. The game went widely unnoticed until a ROM of the finished game was leaked. The story was mostly intact from the original TV series, only changing the setting from Tokyo to Los Angles and changed the characters names to generic American names like Billy, Ken, and Jake. The story is simple: crime is bad, you don't like that, so you stop crime, but in mechs. The game plays very slow and feels like an early SNES release, but it isn't bad. It fits in perfectly with games like Xardion and Run Saber. Its a shame the game was never released, although I have a feeling the game wouldn't've done well and would be priced in the $80- region nowadays.
