Polaroid Pete (Gekibo: Gekisha Boy 2 - The Lost English / PAL Version!)

Polaroid Pete is the cancelled and unreleased English version of the weird, cult Japanese game “Gekibo: Gekisha Boy 2” by Irem Software Engineering, released in Japan in 2001 for Playstation 2. Its European publisher (JVC Music Europe) closed down before they were able to print and release the game, but review copies were already sent to gaming magazines and websites. This English PAL edition of the game was considered vaporware for many years, until recently when a collector found one of these reviews copies.

Finally we have a proof of its existence, and this review copy is currently on sale on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/253855301939
The game was preserved online on Archive.org thanks to Alon Faifer: https://archive.org/details/polaroid-...
