Might & Magic II: Gates to Another World

Might & Magic II is the sequel to the stupidly popular PC game, Might & Magic by New World Computing. The first game was released on the NES in 1991, and a sequel developed by Iguana Entertainment and published by Elite Systems was released in 1993 in PAL regions and Japan. Before that, American Sammy had intended for it to be released in summer '92, but it was cancelled. Strange part was that in 1994, FCI released Might & Magic III in the US. Must've been confusing. Might & Magic II had every reason under the sun to be released, as the series was super popular and it would've been the first dungeon crawler to release on the SNES (I guess Arcana takes that title coming out in May, but close enough) The US version was completely finished and even shown at CES. It had full page ads in popular gaming magazines like EGM and GamePro, but American Sammy still cancelled it. The only reason I can think they cancelled it was due to licensing issues with the Might & Magic series, as the property was handed off to PC RPG hoarded FCI with the third installment. I still don't know why FCI wouldn't bother to try and release the second game in the US though. Boggles my mind. A ROM has been found and it is of the complete version. I'd do a quick review of it but I have no idea how to play it, let alone get used to moving around.
