    • ALT1: ... that Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors, canceled in 1995, was preserved through a review copy? Source: "Last September Frank Cifaldi, the founder of Lost Levels, posted a review of magic/comedy duo Penn and Teller's never-released SegaCD game, Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors. Now Waxy is hosting a torrent of the game" (Penn & Teller SegaCD game unearthed; ref #26) + "last September, Frank Cifaldi (founder of Lost Levels) received a backup CD-ROM made by a fellow videogame writer of a review copy he’d received a decade earlier.
