🕑 Added 2021-05-01 17:37:31 +0000 UTCKeeping up with our cynical queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 4 cancelled games to the Unseen64 archive:
Blunders [PC-Engine]: cancelled cyberpunk RPG that was in development around 1992 by IGS for PC Engine. From the available screenshots it looks like players would have been able to explore sci-fi cities in a top-down view, with turn based combat similar to Phantasy Star: https://www.unseen64.net/2021/05/01/blunders-pc-engine-cancelled/
Crimson Order [PC]: cancelled squad based tactical game similar to X-Com and Rainbow Six, that was in development by Kinesoft around 2000, planned to be released on PC. The project was quite hyped at the time, but possibly too ambitious for a small team mostly used to work on PC ports of existing games. IGN and Gamespot were quite impressed with the game’s concept, even if they never seen any gameplay: https://www.unseen64.net/2021/05/01/crimson-order-kinesoft-pc-cancelled/
Alien Front [N-Gage]: the original Alien Front is an arcade game developed by Sega, which was then ported to the Dreamcast in 2001, adding online multiplayer. In 2004 Sega announced another port of the game for the ill-fated Nokia N-Gage: https://www.unseen64.net/2021/05/01/alien-front-ngage-cancelled/
Adventure of the Mummy Head [PC- Engine]: cancelled game that was in development by Taito for PC Engine around 1991. The title was advertised in a few gaming magazines at the time, but as far as we know they never showed any screenshot, just artwork of the main protagonist: https://www.unseen64.net/2021/05/01/adventure-mummy-head-pcengine-cancelled/
