8 Bizarre Reasons Video Games Were Pulled From Sale

8. Fantasia

Fantasia, the video game adaptation of the Disney film of the same name, was released on the Sega Mega Drive in November 1991. By all accounts, the game sucked - proving that game adaptations of films being rubbish isn't something exclusive to the 21st century

You can't recall a game just for being crap, unfortunately, which is why a team of six were forced to rush the game out in time for Christmas, so Sega could capitalise on those sweet, sweet holiday sales. However, unbeknownst to anyone involved in development, Sega didn't technically own the rights to make a game based on the Fantasia film at all.

Roy E. Disney, nephew to the late Walt Disney and (at the time) senior executive of Disney, wasn't aware that Sega were even developing the title - as the rights to the game had, somehow, mistakenly been sold to them.

See, Roy had put a ban on any adaptations of Fantasia being developed at the behest of uncle Walt, something that some executive at Disney was clearly unaware of. As a result, 5,000 copies of the game were destroyed, advertising for the game was pulled down, and Fantasia was banned from being resold.
