Unreleased Games?

05 December 2002, 19:13

I've just been looking at a list of unreleased CD32 games, and if they are truly 'unreleased' it should mean there was at least some work done on them. I'm wondering if anyone has any previews/demos/news or basically has even heard of these unreleased CD32 games:

Elite III - First Encounters
Extractors - Diggers 2
Hired Guns
Sensible World of Soccer
UFO 2: Terror from the Deep (On PC as X-Com TFTD)
Zool3

Obviously some of these were only upgrades or CD ports of old Amiga games. I saw these on a big list of unreleased games at CD32 source, http://website.lineone.net/%7Ecd32/unreleased.htm
I have actually found evidence of Diggers 2 here http://www.ifrance.com/ninjaw/cd32/ and this site also has an identical games list (Someones been thievin methinks).

I bet some of those didn't even got started. but there are others that might be in some playable state, like MegaRace CD32.

On a related note I wonder if anyone knows anything else about Monkey Island 1 CDTV than is stated here.

According to this page Monkey Island was developed for the CDTV but never released:

and more interesting it states CDTV on these pages...

I think Amiga Format did a Review of MegaRace
Also i had a Vhs from Ocean showing Inferno and Thx saying these would come out on Pc and Cd32

THX was a little to complicated for accelerated Amigas let alone CD32

An old danish tv show who did game previews/reviews/movies/books showed MegaRace once, cant remember which version but they definitly talked about both the Amiga and PC version.

Retro1234 · 25 October 2006, 20:53

Ok it was TFX

and it looks like Cu Amiga Released it Ive probably still got the Vhs Ill have a look

MegaRace Yeah software houses listed it but they never got the stock?
Also it not list on the Amiga Format Web Site

Was inferno any good?

Do you think any work was ever done on Magic Carpet

Again other news:

Planetside from psygnosis was not completely forgotten: It's remake/legacy is a pc game named tellurian defense.

derSammler · 19 December 2006, 11:08

Actually, Planetside from Psygnosis was *never* intended to be a game! It was only a technology demo.

Agreed

...and available on the FM Towns / FM Marty

starlord · 20 December 2006, 10:39

As a true game or as a demo?

derSammler · 20 December 2006, 10:52

As a demo. I've got it myself and really enjoyed watching it. Especially since I only knew the CDTV version that came with Lemmings back then, which is shorter than the FM Towns version.

DamienD · 20 December 2006, 14:00

Yeah it's not a bad demo, really just loads of Psygnosis intros put together.

If anybody wants I can upload the FM Towns version tonight when I get home? (you can watch it via the emulator Unz)

Just read on Kultboy about the unreleased "Spud Boy" for the CD32. Is there a self-running or a playable demo?

Hey, they've stolen a pic from me. What a scandal. In this game you control a potato, strange enough.

Dizzy · 21 February 2007, 05:02

well it look more like the eab-members you find in the off topic section

You're so true Dizzy.

Extractors - Diggers 2

I probably still have the email adres of the developer of the game. He told me there was a beta CD32 only, but it was far from complete if I remeber correctly. There was no sound and the levels were unpolished.
