Anyone have a scan of this page of The One?
Well, we've gone one better and pulled out of the HOL vault some tasty 256 colour screenshots of this unreleased racing game!

Originally the game was called The Big Engine and was going to be published by Kompart in late 1994. Kompart folded (boo!) and developers The Hidden turned to Supervision, who published their previous game Donk. The game was renamed to The Big End (sounds a bit cheeky!) and was previewed in The One (Sep 94) and Amiga Power (Feb 95).......and then nothing more was written about it after that AFAIR.

Anyone know why it wasn't released? Adrian? Nico? It looked quite good from the screenshots and development had progressed quite far judging from the previews.
