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???

Indy isn't that good a game on the PC, so why would you want a fuzzy N64 version??
NOOOOOOOOOOOO - Please tell me this isnt true about Indy Jones + the Infernal Machine - Ive been wanting this for ages!!
In reply to Bonus, yes I heard about Sensible Softwares "Sex, Drugs and Videogames!!!", although I thought the game never got released because Sensible was bought up by a bigger company who didnt want the game to be released and ruin its image.
Whatever the truth is Im sure the game would have been a laugh, although from the screenshots I saw it looks as if yould have to be pretty perverted to buy it.

Sex, Drugs and Videogames!!!
Produced by Sensible Studios (the guys behind sensible soccer!!). The game contained explicit images of a sexual nature and of taking drugs, but because of this, no publishers would touch the game. SS had put all of their resources behind the game, and by getting no return, couldn't afford to do anything else, shame really!!
