Unreleased Snes game ShadowHawk rom released.

ShadowHawk was based on the Image Comics' spine-breaking vigilante anti-hero of the same name. The main part of each level was to be a 2D side-scrolling platform-jumping, where you would utilize your throwing-star type weapons to attack, your grappling hook to climb, and a special move where you could jump over your enemies and bust their spines, if you were quick enough when their backs were turned. At the end of each level, you would confront a boss character (all villains from the comic) and watch the gameplay transform into a 2D Street Fighter-style fighting game.

WHAT HAPPENED?
The game was created during the final days of the SNES and Studio e couldn't find a publisher for the title. It was all but finished when plans for it were dropped.

I gotta admit that sounds pretty cool.

I had a few issues of the comic, pretty obvious that it turned out to be the D.A., still a cool idea having a book narrated in the second person.

There are times that I do not miss the 90s.  This is one of them.
