Hardcore
Did this Digital Illusions game ever see the light of day, or was it nothing more than a bunch of screen shots?
I know it says it was unreleased, but maybe a version slipped out somewhere? |

I tried looking for some information on this game as I thought it looked pretty good. Unfortunately trying to find any information on the internet without extremely limiting the search terms comes up with piles and piles of irrelevant information (if you know what I mean).
Shame, as this actually looks pretty good. |

Yeah that would be pretty sweet if any kind of demo could be found.

I'm pretty sure The One magazine did a preview of sorts (ie: 1/2 a page or so at least), at the time, but it just seemed to quietly disappear off the radar like several other titles did for the same reason after Commodore's demise. Can't recall to much about it,but think their comments at the time were describing it in the same tones as a Turrican-esque game in terms of quality.

I clearly remember that screenshot from magazines... shame I threw out my 'The One' collection a while ago :/

In any case, good luck with that. Even if no software is available, it would be interesting to find out what happened to this game and maybe even find out why it never got released. |

Yep, I just think it was shelved during production, much like the game Tentacle by Eldritch the Cat. A rolling slideshow of the latter was shown on an ST mag disk. Oh and the mods of Tentacle were released on Tim Wright's homepage - http://www.coldstorage.org.uk

Found two interviews with Andreas Axelsson (AXL) (one of the founders of Digital Illusions) in which he also commented on why 'Hardcore' wasn't released:

The unreleased Mega Drive version. Looks indeed very nice. We need a ROM dump. Last edited by Retro-Nerd; 15 October 2007 at 03:35. |

I'm curious, if no demo exist or anything, who did the screens for HOL?
They don't exactly look scanned |
