Hey everyone!

I remember seeing screenshots for a "Golden Axe" like game for the Jaguar called "Conan" in some Magazines back in the 90's. Anyone know what the deal was with that game??

I wonder if that's the beat-'em-up developer Arcade Zone did for the Jaguar that wasn't released. Co-founder Lyes Belaidouni brings it up in this interview.

Is this what you're looking for?

That's very interesting.

How come no one here from Atariage has contacted these guys about releasing this game to the public?? Are they even aware of the interest in Jaguar games here??????

I would email them but I don't speak French, but I'm sure someone here does...

Yes, that's it!!

O.K., I tracked down this guy and sent him an e-mail about interest in his unreleased game and a link to the forums at this site.

We'll see if anything come of it....

Aha! Upon closer inspection, the player character is named Carlo (like Carlo Perconti?), and the enemy he's hitting in the second shot is named Titus (Perconti did freelance work for Titus, and Belaidouni was a Titus employee).

Don't have any contact info, but I just found an issue of The Atari Zone from Summer 1995 (PDF). It lists Conan, and Arcade Zone is the developer.

Hey everyone!

He, Carlo Perconti, works here now (he's the president)...

http://www.hyperdevbox.com/

That is where I sent an e-mail to.

But hey everyone, let's wait until next week to see if I get a response, I'll post ANYTHING I get back here if I get a response. I don't want to annoy the guy with a ton of e-mails about this until he has a chance to read mine and see if he is interested, so let's not piss him off right off the bat with a ton of "eager" people spamming him like crazy to release the game!

Let's keep our fingers crossed!!

Tell this guy we want him to finish the game so we can buy it!

I remember seeing this at E3 in 95 to bad it never came out. Did anyone ever get in contact with these developers.

I sent the guy an e-mail and never heard anything back. I'd have to say this is a "not gonna happen".
