Star Wars for the... Sega Mega Drive!?

I had no idea this existed until now. Only a prototype that was never released, and it's very rough, but is cool to see how close this was to being released back in 1993. It's very similar to the SNES version.

Nice! Looks very similar. Why didn't it get a release?

Not sure, it's hard to say from the prototype as it's very buggy so not as good as the SNES version. Maybe there was an exclusivity deal with Nintendo or something?

Star Wars on Sega in general is in short supply compared to Nintendo. They did make some strange decisions in the 90's
