in 1996 a virtual pet game came out on windows computers called Fin Fin on Teo the Magic Planet. the whole idea was that a mic was included which youd use to interact with fin fin, along with just seeing him chill on his home planet. really chill and ambient game which had a ton of really nice pre rendered graphics.

a few months ago, i was doing some research for an unrelated project about the n64 disk drive expansion. while we were looking at the list of cancelled games, try to imagine the cognitive dissonance i had when i saw something called TEO 64 in there. after little bit more research, all ive been able to gather was that fin fin on teo was a game planned for the disk drive, but not much else. if anyone here knows anything else about it, im all ears. if i find any more information on my own, ill update this thread

id post a few links but i cant since my account is so new

heres a clipping about it in a magazine named "Total!"

@LuigiBlood is a fountain of knowledge, perhaps they know something?
Ah yes, LuigiBlood is great.

It wouldn't surprise me if this game is one of ports that doesn't actually exist and was never in development. Non-Japanese gaming magazines back then tended to make up fake ports of games based on little or no evidence. If there's no Japanese source I would take what the magazine is saying with a grain of salt. I remember reading stuff on Sonic Retro and Sega Retro how about how old magazines made up ports of games that never existed for the Genesis and Dreamcast and it was a pain for making wiki articles.
