Keeping up with our super, extreeemely long queue of games waiting to be remembered on Unseen64, this week we added new 2 articles in our archive:

Thieves World [N64]: You might remember a game called Rogue Ops that was released on Xbox, Gamecube and Playstation 2 way back in 2003. Well, this game wasn’t always called that way. When the developer Bits Studios started the project during the Nintendo 64 era, this was called Thieves World. The game almost became a Rare project, maybe even a Perfect Dark spin-off, when the company audited Bits Studios for a possible acquisition: https://www.unseen64.net/2018/10/18/thieves-world-n64-cancelled/

Horrorville [PS2]: Dogfish Entertainment was a rather obscure studio established in October 2000, created by former employees of Bullfrog Productions (Syndicate Wars, Dungeon Keeper 2, Dark Omen). The team worked on many different prototypes, trying to pitch their ideas to publishers. One of these concepts was for a survival horror game titled “Horrorville“, which around 2001 could have been green-lighted by Sony as a first-party game, along with another game titled “Dinosaur Zoo“: https://www.unseen64.net/2018/10/18/horrorville-dogfish-ps2-cancelled/
