>Looks like it was released, just in Japan, and just very limited?
No, as is mentioned on that D-L-P page, it was most likely intended to be a simple ROM swap for the existing boards. All the Sega LD games are that way, same board just a ROM and disc change. I think it was only just field tested and then for whatever reason canceled. Maybe because of the low interest of their other LD games or maybe because of the loss of interest in LD games in general and their cost of maintenance? What makes Albegas odd as opposed to the Star Trek game is they had the discs pressed for Albegas! (Many of them, you can still get them on ebay for cheap!) Why they didn't put out at least a conversion kit with the ROMS, disc and a Marquee to try and get something from it is just mind boggling.
There is no law in the arena
