Power Piggs of the Dark Age
date : 18-unreleased
tags : unreleased
type : unreleased
licensing : licensed
Although it was released exclusively for the SNES, Power Piggs also had a Mega Drive version in the works. It was far enough along to receive reviews from European magazines Mega Force and Sega Power before its cancellation, and has not yet been made available unofficially or otherwise. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Power Piggs is the unlockable minigame that can be accessed by typing in a special code on the password screen. It’s a short shmup called “Bad Guys From Space II”, where you pilot a ship blasting at digitized heads of some of the game’s dev team as they fire at you. Radical had a habit of including plenty of secrets in their 16-bit games that featured their staff in some way, and this is a charming example of that legacy.
