Gameplay
Development
Cancellation and Availability
In May 2003, Midway Games announced the production of a platform game based on the show for the Game Boy Advance.[1][2] Although it was displayed at the Electronic Entertainment Expo,[2] the game was later cancelled.[3]
As the years go by without much to go on other than comments of memories and a few scans from Nintendo Power magazine, until, in 2019 a small YouTube channel @G4ZDTechTV was uploading curated archived videos from G4 and TechTV and re-discovered this review with gameplay footage.[4]
In December 14, 2020, Igor Zhuravlev contacted with musician Kai Walter about this game through email, he accepted that he indeed wrote music for this game and uploaded gameplay of build, that he had.[5] Later, Kai advised contacting Cosmigo to get permission to distribute this ROM, but no one responded.
In August 7, 2024, Igor asked programmed Jesse Raymond about this game through email, he said that he definitely saved it but he thinks it's on an his old drive now. Later, he disagreed about ROM sharing.
