3D Genesis

About

You control a small force defending against massive super insects that fight each other for survival. The enemy gets funneled into a deep crevice, but your team faces overwhelming odds. You must test their numbers by using superior firepower to hold the line. This title was meant to be part of a trio on Power-Play Arcade cart #1 but never saw a full release until 2010. Dan McElroy and Jerry Lawson programmed it back in 1983 before shelving the project for decades. The game shows up as a rare find for collectors who dig into obscure Atari 2600 history. A catalog screenshot appeared in Amiga's Power System, yet no details accompanied the image at the time. It remains one of those titles that only exists because someone kept it around until the modern era made limited releases possible. Players who enjoy retro challenges get a chance to see what an unfinished project from the early eighties actually looks like when pushed to completion.
