   I have an old EGM that talks about this 4 pack that was said to be in   
   development in Japan for the MD. It had Zaxxon, Shinobi(1) and two other   
   games(I can't remember what they are off the top of my head). Sadly, as   
   far as I know, it never surfaced....even if alpha rom dump form. :(
