Post here games that you remember hoping to come out, but never did. I have couple of obscure titles that I'm betting most people don't remember.

Chakan: The Forever Man (DC)
Too Human (GC)


What are some of the games you guys remember that never made it?

I still remember the original Toe Jam and Earl for the Genesis, man the game was addicting.

I did play Chakan on the Genesis. I didn't know a Dreamcast version had been planned.

I still own Toe Jam and Earl :)

Biggest disappointment for me was chapters 2 and 3 of Shining Force 3 on the Saturn. Sega brought Chapter 1 over so we were able to get the first 1/3 of the story.

Warcraft Adventures is the only one I can think of right now. If STALKER is delayed again then that's another one.

EDIT: Oh, and then there's Phoenix. Halo also was never really released, since Microsoft changes so much of it in the two years they had control on the project.

TF2....lol I remember sitting in an air port with my favorite mag..PCGAMER reading an article about This game. I thought wow..this is gonna be awesome..VOICE.!? no way? And there was this cool picture of a guy with a machine gun..the kind you have to lay down or set up to use. Now..that had to be...hmmm 5th or 6th grade. I am now a college Junior..WTF!?

Duek Nukem - This has also been said to come out years and years ago..back in 1996..but no dice...UNTIL yesterday when i opened up..my fav mag again..PCGAMER...with a article on how its finnally going to come out next year with the DOOM3 engine...nice!

^^ says they plan on "revisiting the starcraft universe in the future" in their FAQ. Its been there for quite a while. I hope they do (for PC) before I get too old to or stop wanting to play these games.

Those were sweet games indeed. Blaster Master really needed a password or battery save system, though. Was a hassle to beat.

I'll bet they end up getting a cease-and-desist.

In the entire game I only rarely ever got past the one block boss that reproduced itself. Man that thing was frustrating. Once I beat him I was booking. Without a save or anything, you had to do everything in one sitting, which was very hard.

Some more classics!

Genesis:
Landstalker
Cyborg Justice
Zero Tolerance(An amazing FPS, you guys won't even remember it probably...)

Agreed. I remember my brother, Uncle, and I sat down one night trying to see how far we could get. I can't even think how many hours we were at it; all I know is that we killed a couple different oddly-colored frogs, and ended up dying on like the third one.
