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.

I've seen LGR do a video on this.

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.
