Albegas / Cybernaut Sega / Bally Midway - 1983 (Prototype)
Notes : Conversion kit for Galaxy Ranger. The most common prototype laserdisk game made, many discs exists for this game but as far as I know there were no ROM images made as it was cancelled before that was done.
Game Notes : Japanese anime in style, it was different from a lot of other games by allowing the choice of different paths to take throughout the game which made it less repetitious and more challenging to the player.
