Don't understand korean but it looks like a numan athletics style game featuring terry bogard and others characters.
It's a 1996 arcade game ( perhaps neo geo ).

I’ve got almost every 1996 issue of Gamest, and there’s no mention of this, so it had to have stayed in Korea.Oh wow - hadn't heard or seen anything about this. Interesting.
Digmac - have you seen anything about this in your vast collection of classic gaming mags?

This is really cool, though. It always surprises me that there’s still things to be discovered 25 years later.
This is not Ultimate 4 aka King of Athlete. That was being developed by Face and got a very small feature in Neo Geo Freak vol. 1. Different companies, different countries, and if you look at the article, totally different characters.From what I've seen people talking about it on Twitter, this is supposedly King of Athlete due to its sports nature but I could be wrong. Either way, looks really cool and it blows that it didn't come out
Glad to be wrong. Thanks for the heads up!This is not Ultimate 4 aka King of Athlete. That was being developed by Face and got a very small feature in Neo Geo Freak vol. 1. Different companies, different countries, and if you look at the article, totally different characters.
It doesn't mention Neo Geo or the MVS anywhere in the article. Not in that section; not anywhere.Yo whats up Evan. I’m not 100% on that one.
Can someone take a crack at translating this section on the page? Perhaps this area will shed some light on the hardware question:

Awesome, thank you for confirming Neo AlecIt doesn't mention Neo Geo or the MVS anywhere in the article. Not in that section; not anywhere.
Hey whats up BillyJoelZeta. That was the case for most arcade titles, but a lot of Neo Geo games that were covered/previewed back in the day usually mentioned that they were being made specifically for Neo Geo hardware because it also meant that the game would be available to pick up for the home console as well:The question is, would it actually mention Neo Geo or MVS if it was? Most magazines would just say “arcade” for any game regardless of the system it’s running.
In 1996, if this was a legit project done by SNK or for them with their blessing, then the only reasonable options are Neo or Hyper 64. In 1996 SNK was WAY into the MVS and didn’t seem to care about anything else except the Hyper and every game for the Hyper is very obviously a 3D game.
