Stormlord (ストームロード) is a sidescrolling action game developed for the Sega Mega Drive by RazorSoft. The Mega Drive version was only released in North America and Japan.

Stormlord was controversial due to the inclusion of naked fairy statues. Sega refused to manufacture the cartridges until the graphics were censored, but rather than comply, RazorSoft began manufacturing its own cartridges, which in turn caused Sega to revoke RazorSoft's developer license, and led to a lawsuit for copyright infringement and breach of contract^[1].

In the end, the game was censored and released with a license.
