SMSPower has made a bit of a name for itself in the retro gaming industry by preserving games that were unreleased, untranslated or simply unheard of. Their goal…a lofty one at that…is to preserve the entire Sega 8-bit library.

The most recent addition to this illustrious collection is the Sega Game Gear version of Dr. Franken. While it was released to the Nintendo Game Boy, it never made it to the Sega handheld….until now.

This full color version of Dr. Franken began as a demo that was intended to garner permissions to continue development of the full game. For reasons unknown to most of the gaming community, however, this classic was canceled.

The ROM version is short and contains no audio, per the original, but it can be downloaded here. Read more about this effort here.
