Buried in a ooooold issue of EGM I remember seeing a preview for a Japanese Super Famicom shooter called Christopher Columbus. Anyone know if this game got a release? It was a hori shooter with a surreal look like Cho Aniki or Wings of Wor. Your ship was literally a 15th century Santa Maria and screen shots showed levels in a ice enviroment (with eskimos and mammoths) and a Indian themed world (you were fighting a Hindu idol of some sort).
