Pretty interesting.
Gotta love the response from game play counselors.
So beating Zelda:ALttP CAN get you places!

Any ideas what the game that got rejected 26 times was?

He said it was eventually released as an unlicensed game. The only unlicensed company who at one time did produce licensed games that comes to mind is Tengen.

What were some of Tengen's releases just after they went unlicensed (i.e. right after Gauntlet and RBI Baseball 1)?

Super Sprint, Vindicators, and Temple of Doom were the first three never-licensed releases, AS FAR AS I KNOW. Not necessarily in that order.

It's probably something like Silent Assault or RoboDemons.

There was a licensed version of Temple of Doom.

Indeed there is. Infact, my copy is licensed.

Well yeah. But I thought you meant never licensed at all since the versions are indentical and the guy says this 26 times rejected game never got accepted.

Yep, it was (the label also gives a brief mention to Tengen in the copyright info).

I loved the actual 45min video retrospective heh. Seeing the power glove again was a trip. I also dug the Mega Man opening.
