Mini-Putt (found build of cancelled NES port of golf game; 1991)
Mini-Putt was a golf game developed by Artech Digital Entertainment and released by Accolade for home computers in 1987. In 1991, the game was ported to the Family Computer in Japan by a company called A-Wave, and was planned for release in the United States the same year by JVC for the NES, but was cancelled for unknown reasons. The game was featured in Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and other professional magazines, and received a high rating in a review in the February 1992 issue of GamePro.
Two prototype ROMs have been confirmed, one of which was listed on eBay on October 3, 2015 for 99 cents and ended on October 13 for $1,525[1], but the ROM never surfaced online. On August 2, 2024, LMW user Bro3256 uploaded a prototype ROM to Hidden Palace[2], making it available.
