Cancelled DS Military Shooter, Spy Open World, Multi-Genre Hybrid (Patreon)

Keeping up with our majestic queue of lost games waiting to be remembered, we added 3 cancelled games to the Unseen64 archive:

Tank Assault [Nintendo DS]: cancelled third person shooter that was in development by Wicked Witch Software, planned to be released on Nintendo DS. The game was based on their eponymous mobile app, trying to find a publisher interested in releasing it on the portable console market. The team created a playable demo using their own 3D engine, which looked quite impressive for running on the DS hardware https://www.unseen64.net/2021/06/24/tank-assault-wicked-witch-nintendo-ds-cancelled/

ISO: International Spy Organizations [PC]: cancelled open world FPS (?) that was in development by Signature Devices / Graffiti Entertainment around 2007, planned to be released on PC. It was pitched as “James Bond meets X-Files” but no other details about this project survived online, just a mention in a related news story about the team. Did the game really exist? https://www.unseen64.net/2021/06/24/iso-international-spy-organizations-pc-cancelled/

Private Wars [PC]: cancelled tactical / arcade / turn based FPS hybrid that was in development by 1C Company and TS Group Entertainment between 1998 and 2003. The game ran on their own Eternity 3D engine and it looked quite spectacular for the late ‘90s (but it seems they changed the engine during those 5 years, or heavily upgraded it), with large explorable outdoor maps and simulated weather conditions. Private Wars’ most ambitious feature would be the option to change gameplay as you prefer to play it: as an arcade shooter, a real time squad-based tactical game or a turn-based strategy simulation: https://www.unseen64.net/2021/06/24/private-wars-tsgroup-pc-cancelled/
