MISSING IN ACTION

There remains much confusion remaining as to whether or not certain titles were ever released for the Genesis/MegaDrive. I must admit that I'm just as confused as the rest of you on this matter. Below are a list of titles that I have deemed "missing in action" - these are unconfirmed titles from other people's lists that I have consulted during the compilation of G3. These are not included in the official count of unique titles given at the top of this FAQ. This list includes all of the valid questionable titles from the Cantin, Chase, Babich, and Lipetz lists, as well as others I've stumbled across in my research. I note in passing that ports for other systems exist for many of these titles.
