Cancelled 8-Bit Robosaurus, Pool Sim, Fantasy RTS (Patreon)
Content
Keeping up with our savory queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 pretty obscure cancelled games to the Unseen64 archive:
Robosaurus [NES]: cancelled action game that was in development around 1992 by Adrenalin Entertainment and THQ (at the time known as “Toy Headquarters”) for Super Nintendo. Players would take the role of a mechanical T-Rex to destroy cities and fight against aliens, tanks, helicopters and other military enemies: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/08/robosaurus-thq-snes-cancelled/
American Pool Deluxe [Wii]: cancelled pool simulation game that was in development by Blade Interactive in 2008 and would have been published by Gamecock Media / Navarre / Upshot Games on Nintendo Wii. The game was planned during the “casual games” Wii craze, but possibly canned when even publishers understood it was not going to sell enough on the market: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/08/american-pool-deluxe-wii-cancelled/
Blood Tactics [PC]: cancelled fantasy RTS that was in development by Artefacts Studios in the mid – late ‘00s. The team is mostly known for their work on such titles as Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders and Space Hulk Tactics, but it seems they were also planning this obscure project: https://www.unseen64.net/2020/09/08/blood-tactics-artefacts-studios-pc-cancelled/
