Dunk Star
Also shown at the 1991 CES trade show, this was to become the first basketball game released for the NeoGeo system. An anonymous person
recorded on tape at the show had this to say while discussing it with another show attendee: "Yes, unfortunately that is gonna be the basketball. Let's
hope it's not finished. I don't know what happened. Who knows, maybe it'll get better. But it's coming out soon so I...I think it's...complete." The
game may have simply not quite measured up to set quality standards as it was never released. A few years later in 1994, a far superior basketball
game by Data East called Street Slam (or Dunk Dream in Japan) was released for the system. These two games however are entirely different. Also
the only other game that we know of manufactured by Sammy for the NeoGeo system is the amazing shooter Viewpoint. In late 2002, the arcade
promo flyer was discovered for the game. A scan of it is provided below.
