B.Rap Boys

B.Rap Boys
Developer: Kaneko Publisher: Kaneko Platform: Arcade (B.Rap Boys Hardware) Released in JP: 1992 Released in US: 1992 This game has unused graphics.

To do: This game has a TON of unused and unfinished graphics, including enemies, animated character mugshots, several font styles (including one with upper- and lowercase letters), an early game logo, and more. Compare with the later release, B.Rap Boys Special, which apparently added some things not present in the original.

Due to this game's predecessor DJ Boy selling very horribly on the Sega Genesis, this game remained an arcade exclusive.

Unused Graphics

It looks like Kaneko showed this game to lots of companies before deciding to publish it themselves. All of these graphics are stored in the game's graphic banks.

There are also scaled and rotated versions of the game and Kaneko logos stored across several graphic banks. The game doesn't have any scaling capabilities and they're simply not used. It's possible that a more elaborate intro sequence was planned at one point.

Early Enemy Graphics

There are some unshaded graphics for the mech-using enemy in the game's tilesets.

A death animation for the unshaded mech is also in the game.
