Pinocchio (32X)

Pinocchio
Developer: Virgin Interactive Platform: 32X This game has hidden development-related text. This game has unused text.

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually reached store shelves.

Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: The word fish is appended to an f-bomb which appears a few times.

The 32X Pinocchio is a platformer based on the Disney film, featuring different palettes than the Genesis and SNES iterations and the added feature of parallax scrolling.

It's not certain why this iteration was scrapped, though there is speculation that it had something to do with the 32X not faring so well at the time. A prototype was eventually released by Radar.

Debugging Text

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: According to Hidden Palace, the SH2 code is still here, so perhaps it could still function with some hacking?

Present at 0xx8C5C8 is text for a cheat menu. It's unknown how to access it currently.
