Amusing Dream (夢幻冒険記 アミュージングドリーム Mugen Bouken-ki Amyūjingu Dorīmu, Dream Adventure Chronicles: Amusing Dream) is a cancelled JRPG game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES, published as the Super Famicom in Japan) that was developed by Takara.

The game's character design was done by mangaka Kouga Yun; the script was written by Ikeda Misa and music composed by Kuzuu Chinatsu.

Plot

The only known plot details of the JRPG come a Super Famicom advertisement published in 1992. It reads:

“An unknown landscape shrouded in a thin mist. On a small hill, far away, stands a tower-like figure. Though it is the first time the protagonist sees this place, it makes him feel a strange nostalgia.

A girl appears and whispers to him ‘Follow me, I am the guide of this world. I think I can help you.’

From those few words, his adventure begins.”

Preview

The game was going to be released in Fall 1992, but it was delayed until July 1993 and eventually cancelled for unknown reasons. No prototypes of the game exist.

Additionally, a French magazine preview described a possible release saying: "'Amusing Dream' is a truly Japanese RPG, with truly Japanese characters and truly Japanese graphic design. But is all of this Japanese, you may wonder? Absolutely, and consequently, we are very doubtful whether Japan-exclusive 'Amusing Dream' will ever be distributed in Europe. This is approximately what Takara told us when we came blundering in. This Dream may be Amusing, but it will not become a reality, at least not in our country..."

Cancelation

There are currently no details as to how deep the game was in development when cancelled. It can be safely assumed, however, that the game was thoroughly fleshed out; multiple advertisements have been discovered, and the French version includes a picture of the game alongside its review.

There are no known game demos or releases of the game.
