History
In 1991, Kaneko announced that they were going to port four games from Toaplan for the Sharp X68000. The games were Hishouzame, Kyukyoku Tiger, ''Same! Same! Same!, and Tatsujin''. The three games after Flying Shark were set for 1992. However, they were delayed sometime in 1993 and 1994 because of possible poor sales of Hishouzame. The other one, Kyukyoku Tiger did get a release almost a year later! (Planned release was in Spring 1992). The two games were listed alongside with the canned X68 version of Air Buster in the Oh!X magazine were fully announced sometime in 1992 or 1993. The two ports went unreleased when time passed possibly because of Toaplan's bankruptcy at the time (Not confirmed) while Air Buster 's X68000 port was cancelled for an unknown reason.
