Robotech: Crystal Dreams, based off the hit anime, was a cancelled game for the N64. Its developers, GameTek filed a chapter 11 bankruptcy before the game could be finished, and all of the unfinished game was liquidated. The game was supposed to come out in May of 1995 as one of the Nintendo 64’s launch titles. It was first named Robotech: Academy but it was eventually cancelled after it was shown at E3. Crystal Dreams was primarily a space shooter but in between levels your character would be able return to the home base and interact with characters to further move the story forward. 

RS Links: FFIII/IV DS, unused stuff?

  • A “Takkei Tail.”
  • A dummied lance.
  • Two dummied katanas.
  • A dummied staff.
  • A dummied whip.
  • An “Augment Test” augment. Tongue
  • An “MP Efficiency” augment.
  • A “DoesNotExist” augment.
  • An “Omega Tail.”
  • A “Zemus Tail.”
  • A “Debugger” shop, with what appears to be its own shopkeeper lines: “How…how did you get here?”
