Air Drums | A game announced for the Genesis to be used in conjunction with the short-lived Sega Activator motion control-based controller. The game simulated playing a drum kit, and was said to have 2 separate modes - "free play" and "Simon Says".

Amegedon | A proposed video game adaption of Lee Hyun-se's Armageddon manhwa, announced as part of a larger effort to make it a multi-media franchise, the project never developed outside of some artwork released around the time of its announcement, though a video game unrelated to the Genesis project did later release on PC in 1996.[4] | Softmax | |
Akira | An adaptation of the 1988 anime film Akira was planned for release on Sega Genesis, Super NES and Sega CD in 1995, with Game Boy and Game Gear games based on the film also being considered.

The Genesis version later leaked onto the internet in 2019.[5][6] | Black Pearl Software | THQ |
Al Unser Jr. Racing | Present at CES 1994, the game was described as a racing video game hosted by its namesake Al Unser Jr. An emphasis on speed, and "different track and car options" was reported on.
