The Godfather (lost unreleased Sega Master System movie tie-in game based on film; 1992-1993)
The Godfather was to be a tie-in game to the classic Coppola film series for the Sega Master System to be released somewhere between December of 1992 and 1993 by European game publisher U.S. Gold. The game was announced in UK's Sega Power issue 32's page 7 (alongside another unreleased Master System game; Die hard 2), and was shown off more elaborately in Germany's "Video Games" issue 2/93 on page 106, showing screenshots and even a review. Despite being shown in various magazines at the time, the game was cancelled for unknown reasons. It is theorized that this game would have been a conversion of other Godfather games published by the same company.
