Play SM Choukyoushi Hitomi - Test Version (Japan) (Unl) Online

Ever dug through old SNES ROMs and found something weirdly fascinating? SM Choukyoushi Hitomi is one of those—an unreleased Japanese test version that feels like stumbling onto a developer’s rough sketch. There’s no manual, no context, just this strange little thing where you’re apparently training athletes (I think?) with menus full of cryptic options and that unmistakable mid-’90s pixel aesthetic.

It’s janky, sure, but there’s something charming about poking at a game that never got finished. The menus have that clunky-but-earnest translation vibe, and half the fun is trying to figure out what anything does. Not for everyone, but if you’ve ever lost an afternoon to obscure retro oddities, this one’s a neat little artifact. Like finding a demo disc for a game that never existed.
