Glover was a fun 3d platform game, developed by Interactive Studios Ltd and released for the Nintendo 64 and Playstation. A sequel was announced for Nintendo 64, Playstation and Dreamcast, but it got cancelled. In 2010 Nesworld recovered a playable beta of the Nintendo 64 version of Glover 2 and in october 2011, the rom was leaked online. You can now play Glover 2 and see what we missed in all these years! We are happy to know that the game is now preserved by the community, so it will not be lost.
Thanks to Nesworld and Goomther for the contributions!

Hmmm. I wonder if we can find a beta…

Man it would have been fun to play as Glover again especially if you could use that axe on the enemy lol.

Glover was actually developed by Interactive Studios Ltd (now Blitz Games), and published by Hasbro. I still remember the day it was canned, as this was the first game that I ever worked on.
*sigh*

Huh, never knew a second one was in the works at some point. It’s too bad, the first was pretty good. Very under-rated.

Aw…didnt know about this, thats regrettable…Glover was a fun game…BUT!
When I look at Turok Evolution – which was not only published way to early but had to ditch its brilliant approaches – I am pretty happy this did not work out.
That way, it still is possible to finish this game without pressure of time (provided that they still own the rights on this game…)…

Well it’s no Glover 2.
But if you guys liked Glover that much you should really give Billy Hatcher a try (if you haven’t already).
The similarities are uncanny.

Imagine what it would be like if this release now on the Nintendo DS and it featured manipulation of multiple gloves via the stylus to make lizard, bird heads, or other forms one would make when goofing around in reality. Maybe you could join an at first enemy hand to your own to enable this option by playing a game of rock, paper, scissors and determine which option you should choose based on psychological cues indicated by whether it moves relaxed, rigidly, hyper-actively, ect. After all that platform has been dry of a good 3D platformer for well over the past year especially when it comes to one that’s multiplayer.

Fantastic new.
Story behind is funny.

That prototype is an absolutely stellar discovery. The game looks considerably more vibrant than its forbear, and the controls look pleasingly tight as well.
Just to qualify that statement, though–it’s pleasing to look at, though concurrently heart-breaking. Judging by the videos, I’m tempted to say that I would have tried to pick this one up, had it been released.

It seems that some of the old cheat codes for the first Golver game also work on the prototype.

Another Glover 2 prototype has been released by 64scener.com, with far fewer working levels.
