In spite of this victory, however, the Sega Genesis version of the game is still lost and no known prototypes of that version have still been found.

I'm not as familiar with games across multiple systems, so forgive me if this at all sounds like a dumb question, but would it matter if we don't have the Sega version, seeing as we have the SNES version?

Not much is known about the Sega Genesis version of the game except for magazine articles alleging the version to be different from the SNES version of the game (I can only guess because game journalists had access to then-upcoming games before they write articles about them) and I would think that the Genesis version would have the same graphics and gameplay with some differences as the SNES version (much like modern multi-platform games on consoles released today).

However, if the Genesis version does ends up being the same as the SNES version (I believe it would be unlikely), then it wouldn't really matter for me except for die-hard fans of the console the game was supposed to be released on. It sometimes just feels better to find both versions for completionist reasons.

I'm guessing by "different" it'd wouldn't be something like general differences in the way games are played between the two consoles. Also, is it known how far in production it got before it was cancelled (was it like the SNES where it was pretty much finished or was it still being made)?

I honestly think both the SNES and Sega Genesis versions of the game were fully developed (or at least nearly finished and ready to be released) before being unexpectedly cancelled due to the game's publisher Kaneko's U.S. arm shutting down before its release. It's just that only one prototype of the SNES version was known to exist and ended up in the posession of a game collector, while no prototypes of the Genesis version have resurfaced or are known to exist.

After shipping, which is ongoing. So a couple months at most.

The game's SNES version has now been dumped to the internet in the form of re-production cartridges!

Go to this link if you want to download it: www.maxconsole.com/attachments/os-socks-lzh.14521/

It even has a mention on the LMW's new notice board.
