Status: Partially Found
Soldam (ソルダム) is a falling block puzzle game for arcade released by Jaleco in 1992. The plan was to release a Famicom port in July 1993, but it was never released, partly because it was time to move the console to Super Famicom.
Prototype ROM
On December 10, 2016, a prototype of Soldam was shown for the first time at the "Jaleco Exhibition," organized by City Connection, which owns Jaleco's intellectual property, allowing visitors to play the game in person.[1][2]
On November 28, 2017, Soldam was also displayed at a Princess Cafe (a Japanese café chain that has been collaborating with various media contents for a limited time) in Akihabara.[3][4]
Soundtrack
On May 14, 2017, a soundtrack CD for the remake Soldam Bloom Declaration was released, which also included music from the Famicom version.
