🕑 Added 2020-11-16 17:29:53 +0000 UTCKeeping up with our rambunctious queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 cancelled games to the Unseen64 archive:
Lunatik [Playstation, Saturn]: cancelled shoot ‘em up that was in development around 1997 by Pure Entertainment, planned to be published by Eidos for Playstation, Sega Saturn and PC. The team wanted to develop something similar to a 3D Defender, while showcasing their gorgeous (at the time) 3D engine, featuring dozens of enemies on screens, high number of polygons and detailed textures: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/11/16/lunatik-pure-entertainment-cancelled/
Legion [PSP]: cancelled action adventure that was pitched by Torus Games for PSP around 2004. The team created this tech demo to show their ideas to potential publishers, but it seems they never found one interested in funding the project. By looking at the only screenshots preserved, we may assume it would have been some kind of horror – Gothic adventure: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/11/16/legion-torus-games-psp-cancelled/
Legend of the Five Rings: Ronin [PC]: cancelled RPG that was in development in 1997 – 1998 by Engineering Animation Inc (EAI), based on the homonymous collectible card game (at the time owned by Wizards of the Coast) and planned to be published by Activision for PC. Gameplay would have been similar to Diablo (released in 1997), with dungeons to explore, many enemies to kill, loot to collect and a world inspired by the fictional empire of Rokugan: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/11/16/legend-five-rings-ronin-pc-cancelled/
