Super Drift Out

Super Drift Out is a simple top-down racing game developed by the VISCO Corporation. It was released in Japan in 1994, and that same year Accolade decided to bring the game over to the US. Super Drift Out was finished, but it had a late '95 release date, which meant the game likely wouldn't sell well, so Accolade cancelled it. I couldn't find any screenshots from magazines mentioning the game, but luckily the ROM of the game that dates back to '94 was found. It's a surprisingly good yet simple game, and is probably the best game in Accolade's pathetic arsenal. Even though the ROM found isn't finished, it's fully translated and beatable, as they only needed to copy-paste the Japanese version over on a US cart. One of the best parts of the game is the music, specifically the title theme. The music was done by Kenji Yamazaki, who hadn't done much outside of Japan. His only notable works were Mega Man II on GameBoy, Ninja Gaiden on Game Gear, and Superman on Genesis (which had a cancelled SNES version)
