Another lost retro title has been found, in this case ASCII Corporation and Ybarra Productions’ SpellCraft. The game was an RPG for the SNES, and was based on the 1992 MS-DOS game SpellCraft: Aspects of Valor, which was about a young man being whisked away to the fantasy land of Valoria. The SNES game was announced at the Winter Consumer Electronics Show in 1992 and was scheduled for a Fall 1993 release date, according to Nintendo Power Volume 48, but the release date rolled around and the game was noticeably absent.
We've preserved a new prototype build of the cancelled SNES game, SpellCraft! It was being developed by ASCII Corporation and Ybarra Productions during 1992 and 1993, and is vastly different from it's MS-DOS predecessor! pic.twitter.com/ArEO0SFzaA
