MAGIC STONE WAR / MASEKI TAISEN STOON

by I'MAX

Possibly assigned NGM-093 in 1995 which was later given to Neo Bomberman in 1997.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION:

Yet another previously completely unheard of puzzle game from an unconfirmed yet alleged NEOGEO third party software publisher. It was most likely abandoned in the huge clutter wave of arcade puzzle games during the time period of 1994 through 1996.

It might not have ever been assigned a software product number. But even if it had been, upon the games cancelation, the number was most likely revoked and reassigned to another game.

I'MAX was a Japan only and relatively obscure game developer that produced mostly arcade and super famicom games. It is unknown exactly how or when they ventured into NEOGEO territory. A company catalog or brochure surfaced a few years ago which "briefly" or "indirectly" mentions software for the NEOGEO system?
