''Crazyland! The Ride of Your Life'') is a US localization of the Famicom platformer ''Doki! Doki! Yūenchi: Crazy Land Daisakusen'' developed by KID and published by VAP in 1991, which was planned for release by NTVIC in the US. The game was also exhibited at the Consumer Electronics Show in the summer of 1991. The release was later postponed and the decision was made to release the game in November 1992 from American Softworks Corp as ''Trolls in Crazyland'' with the character changed to Troll, but this was only for Italy and Western Europe, and the US release was cancelled. <br>The first prototype ROM was found by YouTuber Steven Seventyeight and a gameplay video was posted<ref>[https://archive.org/details/steven-seventyeight-uploaded-videos/Crazy+Land+NES+Nintendo+Prototype+NTSC+Unreleased.mp4 Steven Seventyeight uploaded videos - Archive.org] Retrieved Dec 10th, 2022</ref>, but it was never dumped and never surfaced. ==Availability== In 2021, Frank Cifaldi of the Video Game History Foundation was invited to the home of Edward J.
