>Based Zyrinx appreciator

I came across image related while digging through old issues of Die hard GameFan Magazine. Scavenger was part of the Zynrinx crew, and this was one of their genesis/ MD games in development, that was cancelled, then pushed over to the 32X under the name Heavy Machinery. Heavy machinery was cancelled as well. Nitro Wrecks looked kinda impressive.,

>I like to imagine this ad on the streets during the PS-PS2 era. It's just so sufficiently unhinged.

That issue of GameFan is loaded with all sorts of silver nuggets. Like right beside that Snatcher ad, there is a preview for a Genesis game called Nitro Wrecks, which claimed to push the Genesis/ MD hardware, and the game vanished. I think it was renamed to Heavy Machinery on the 32x, and that was cancelled as well. That issue has previews for Popful Mail, and a few other Sega CD obscurities. But GameFan was all over Snatcher on the Sega CD. I think they gave it some sort of GOTY award for 1994? Like best adventure game, or something? Editors would always put it in their personal top 10's. Yeah I had that issue, I remember the 32x "Minotaur" cover.
