Unfinished Adventures

Posted by michael on from the beat-goes-on dept.

Obiwan Kenobi writes "Just Adventure has an interesting article on unfinished games that were nixed in mid-development. Amongst the casualties are incomplete trilogies, an off beat 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea game, Blizzard's ill-fated Warcraft Adventures and the Star Trek title "Secret of Vulcan Fury.""

  1. Aeon Flux video game... by MsGeek · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The crazy reason why the Aeon Flux video game was cancelled was the demise of Viacom Interactive. However, the game was a piece of crap. Bad controls! Bad, bad! ;-)

    Also, around that time, a game called "Tomb Raider" came out. TR basically was what the AF video game should have been, without the kink factor.

    Simon And Schuster/MTV Networks should have bought the Tomb Raider engine and redid the AF game as a TR mod. However, since the AF series was cancelled after only one season (just like MTV did to Downtown, alas...) I'm sure it was commercially moot by then.
