Treasure of the Caribbean
A puzzle game designed in 1994 by SNK's 3rd party licensee Face. Face Corporation was rather active in this area of the game list with Gururin (NGM-067) and Zupapa (NGM-070) Their 4th and final NEOGEO title was Money Puzzle Exchanger (NGM-131) in 1997. First shown at a show in Japan in September of 1994, this game simply never made it out of the gates. Puzzle games seem to have been the focus of the company because 3 of the 4 games they developed for the NEOGEO were puzzle games. Screens captured from page 220 of the March 1994 Gamest magazine. If someone can provide higher resolution / non watermarked scans, we will gladly re-crop the shots and post them here.

UPDATED JUNE 2011
Neo Conception International has announced that they are working hard on getting this title to be released in December of 2011. They have now officially confirmed the NGM product code number for this game to be NGM-072. As soon as more information is given, I will post it up here. We are hoping to have some excellent quality screenshots very soon for this unique puzzle game! As of this writing, the title screen has NEVER been seen, and emulated screenshots have never surfaced.

UPDATED JULY 2011
I have uploaded some new screenshots (clearly works in progress) provided by N.C.I. and intermixed them with some of the previously published shots in order to compare them. Many anomolies can be seen in these pictures, but we have been told that they may appear different when displayed & run on the proper hardware. I will reserve my concerns for now.
