"The Games that never made it !"

I've been thinking lately that its a shame that some of the games that we hear so much about never make it past the early developmental stages, or that they never grace our sunny skys.

Thrill Kill(Playstation) was one such game, banned in the UK due to its violent and disturbing fighting content.

I was also a bit gutted that NFLBlitz never made a UK appearance on my N64.

Another game that never made it was Saboteur a game that was suppossed to be released by Eidos in October of 1999, I was looking forward to this game as it was suppossed to mix the best elements of TombRaider with the classic megadrive game Shadow Dancer. For those of you unfamiliar with Shadow Dancer it was the first arcade game to bring us sword fighting ninja style action with a pet dog! Ah the thrill of seeing your dog fighting your enemys for you when you just cant be bothered.

The list continues, the N64 has had a fair few games stolen from its release schedule of late although hopefully they'll appear on the GameCube.

So what games were you all looking forward, that never quite made it???

Apparently Tomb Raider the films gonna be awful.

NOOOOO!!!

Angelina Jolie!!! Perfect!!! *drool*

Have you even seen Gone In 60 Seconds. Angelina Jolie in a boiler suit........and I'm spent!!! :)

Lol

Maybe they should have got Jordan to play Lara... At least the proportions would have been the same as the game...

:-D

No, it's a computer game!!!! But that is why I'm going to see the film!!!! :)

Wonder why you likd Tomb Raider Bonus... didn't have anything to do with the two mountains on Lara Crofts chest did it?

:-D

There again its not surprising!! Indy wasnt actually released in America, it was only available to rent!!
It is a shame cause it looked the business on the N64 but I suppose its not as if the N64 hasnt been spoilt for choice just lately!!

It wasn't just the controls, it was a poor game, no where near as good as Tomb Raider.

Stuff that! It/s got/had Indy in it!

In reply:

The N64 version would look great if it takes full advantage of the N64s memory expansion pack. Although your right the PC version was suppossed to be poor due to a badly designed control system, the N64 version is suppossed to address these problems and deliver a killer game.
