Back again for another continuation of the Final ROM Archive releases, part 3! We have a couple of cool things for this week. The majority of the releases for this week are prototypes. Some of the prototypes are for very obscure Japanese games too!
Check out the Sega ROM Archive article to view some general information about these releases and remember to check out the articles themselves by clicking on the hotlink on each game heading in this article.
Enjoy!

Miscellaneous ROMs
Just like last week, there are a few ROMs that can be considered “Altered Finals”, where the build itself is based off a final ROM but altered slightly for whatever reason. These ROMs have nothing that changes the game in any way, but are included here as an interesting curiosity.
The games are as follows:
- Dungeons & Dragons - Warriors of the Eternal Sun (Apr 28, 1992 build)
- Super Hang-On (Aug 18, 1989 build)
Afterword
As always, remember to keep tuning in sometime every week for more releases from the Sega Final ROM Archive. And expect to see something different every month! Remember to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube for the latest as soon as it all happens.
Until next time!
PS: You can download all the ROMs for this week here!
