VORG, the Forgotten 16-Bit RTS (w/English Subs)

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I'll be the first to say that yes, the protagonist in this game looks like a younger, kinder Vigo the Carpathian...or maybe the offspring of Vigo and Kevin Sorbo. I added a bunch of links to related videos in the description, check them out. And thanks for watching!

[@Gorilla_Jones]

😄 first thing I thought of. The scourge of Carpathia!

[@vermis8344]

What, not Connor McLeod?

[@Gorilla_Jones]

@@vermis8344 no

[@ImportGamingFTW]

@@vermis8344 I can see him as Connor and the Kurgan's love child, too!

I love finding out about obscure stuff like this, thanks for your research and sharing.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Always a pleasure!

This channel has some of the deepest gaming cuts on youtube

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thank you--it's led to quite a bit of blood loss, but it's (probably) worth it.

[@robbyrobot3303]

Seriously!

[@TheBandicootNerd131]

Fantabulous preservation work Jimmy! Kudos!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Ha ha, thanks!

[@zdavisgenki243]

One of the most important videos you've made... thank you for the preservation effort!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I do appreciate that, thank you.

[@MellowGaming]

Vorg is such a 90s sci-fi name. Like an alien race in babylon 5 or something. Such a neat and obscure find.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Totally 90s! Kind of sounds like a fake arcade game in a TV show from the era.

[@ryuhoshu3303]

This was very interesting, thanks for the subtitles Jimmy, happy holidays!!!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

You're welcome and thank you for watching. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@sufami4513]

Incredible find! The gameplay looks like something out of the anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes, which was popular at the time.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Oh, for sure. I almost used some of one of the games' music for this video, ha ha.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

This is a real fascinating little find! Thanks for sharing and _especially_ for putting in translations/subs on the video! I love little obscurities like this even if I don't think I'd ever actually play it, lol.

[@lancem6755]

Thanks for finding and sharing!!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks for watching the early preview and for the support, Lance! I'll upload the original VHS recordings I got this footage from soon.

[@HaydenTheHistorian]

Incredible find!

[@comchia4306]

4:45 IIRC, a high price point, spurred by needing extra storage space for the elaborate cut scenes, ultimately sunk the completed port of Wing Commander II on SNES. Really sad, too, given how excellent it apparently looked. It always breaks my heart when we can't even get the source code or compiled binary for unreleased titles. Please keep up the excellent work!

[@WMARUoriginal]

Wow this looks like it would have been super interesting. Great discovery!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks as usual! Hopefully a ROM or something will pop up sometime in the future.

[@BENULTIMAN2000]

Interesting Video. I'm sure this Game might be considered as Lost Media along with Other Cancelled or Unreleased Super NES/Super Famicom Games like that Weird Christopher Columbus Shoot Em' Up and maybe they might released a Prototype ROM sometime in the Future

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Fingers crossed...and I didn't know about a Columbus shooter, that sounds weird and fantastic. I'll look it up, thanks!

[@goatbone]

The reported unreleased games for the 32X (like Alien VS Predator shown towards the beginning of this video) is really tragic. Wild Guns, Elite, a Castlevania game, etc.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Definitely--I learned about a majority of those from Jenovi's series on them. AvP was my favorite arcade game for many years, a home port would have meant a purchase of a 32X sooner rather than later!

[@-TriP-]

Awesome find, Jimmy!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks!

[@RetroIslandGaming]

What a shame! Another game lost to time. Thank you so much for uploading this and translating it for the rest of us. I love seeing what was capable with the late-gen SNES games. Dragon Quest 3 for SFC blew my mind for example. This game, not sure. It doesn't appear to have any wow factor. Especially for a price point like that. I do enjoy real time strategy, so maybe it's amazing while playing.

[@fredbedlam]

Tengai Makyou when?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Hard to answer. I've been trying to gain more subscribers so that when it does come out, there will be more eyes on it (my videos don't get shared much on YT). It will come out eventually. I have tons of assets and a rough draft of the script (split up version) ready to go, so we'll see!

[@mealwheels3562]

At 2:33 Anyone else seeing that male character as vigo the carpathian

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I did--I almost wrote it into the script, ha ha.

[@Vanessaira-Retro]

This game would have been awesome, or at least I am sure I would have loved it.

[@AtticusMJ]

My always odd seeing games that came this far along get axed maybe one day rom will show up ;o And cheers Jimmy hopefully the holidays have been kind to you this year along with Japan mail getting more there shit in gear so I can stop feeling awful for all the stuff you been holding onto for me xD But cheers to new year and hopefully better year ahead of us

[@WilhelmDriscoll]

This game gives me vibes from the fleet combat scenes in the anime Legend of the Galactic Heroes

[@GrinninPig]

You think Konami will make a new suikoden? And if they do, you think it'll be good?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

If some or most of the creative staff is hired back on and there's little meddling from Konami to make it mobile or whatever popular trend is happening at the time, I find it hard to imagine that the game would be bad! I think with the remasters coming out, the potential for a new Suiko game is higher than it's been in a decade. Fingers crossed.

[@bobbyjr.9559]

Awesome video! who was the artist of this game again? His designs looks dope!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I should have displayed his name, since it also has a custom/unique spelling when romanized. "Kow Yokoyama."

[@carlcouture1023]

It was probably cancelled because of the release date. In 1995 the Playstation and Saturn were already out in Japan and Naxat probably didn't have faith in such an expensive game with new consoles getting all the hype. Plus RTSs aren't big sellers in Japan so that price tag, which was likely necessary due to ROM size, would be too risky. Still it's a shame that it never came out and with the release being only a few months away it was probably almost complete.

[@practicallyneutral]

I want the roms, give me the roms... I just wanna know where the roms at.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

[@mickeymickey9914]

Who all see da rom say "YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!"

[@Loveistheirwholehapp]

This looks like one of those games that looks ambitious and you can tell the devs really wanted to make something special and unique, but it just ends up not being very fun to play. Pretending balls of Playdoh are fleets of starships moving at two miles an hour doesn't look all that enjoyable, so I can see why it cancelled.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Yeah, I imagine it was too little, too late for the game. Balls of Playdoh made me chuckle.
