Neo Rank Masters is a series of streams in which I played through every Neo-Geo game in chronological order, and then ranked them on a big list with the help of chat participation! The series started in January 2022 and has concluded as of July 17th, 2023.

In 1994, Visco developed a single-screen platformer that didn't see an official release. It was considered again for release in 2000, and again denied. Then in 2010, a company named NCI managed to get in contact with Visco and obtained the game to do an officially licensed home cartridge release of it, making the game available to the public for the first time (in a very limited release, if you had a Neo-Geo AES and were willing to spend $400 on it). And now that we can experience the game... yeah, I can definitely understand why they didn't think this game was strong enough to release! Zupapa (also scheduled for 1994 but also shelved until future release) plays sooo much better than this, as does Nightmare in the Dark. It definitely wouldn't have made much of a splash in 1994 had it been released. That being said, I'm glad this release happened so everybody could experience the game for themselves.
