Hurricanes (Game Gear)

Hurricanes
Developer: Arc Developments Publisher: U.S. Gold Platform: Game Gear Released in EU: 1994 This game has uncompiled source code. This game has unused music.

From the same team who brought you the Genesis version, Hurricanes is based off the short-lived TV series. Instead of being a soccer game, it is an action game that plays similarly to Soccer Kid. Unlike the Genesis version, where the goal is to get from point A to point B, the goal in the Game Gear version is to collect enough items in the level, and then go to the end of the level to progress. Sounds fun, right? I didn't think so.

Unused Music

To do: Upload music.

Like the Genesis version, the Game Gear version has an unused track. The same song appears in the Genesis version during the bonus games, though pitched a key lower. The Game Gear version has no such minigames, and thus, goes unused.

The ending music also doesn't get to play completely since the music stops when the screen fades out to the credits.
