Rollcage is a cancelled racing game that was in development by Team 17 for the original Playstation, Saturn and 3DO. Even if the title is the same, this game is not the same Rollcage (a futuristic racer) developed by Attention To Detail and published by Psygnosis in 1999. Team 17′s Rollcage was a more traditional racing game, with “realistic” cars and tracks from the real world. There are no more info available on this project, but Celine was able to find some screenshots in CD Consoles magazine issue #7. Rollcage was never released on any platform, for unknown reasons.
Unclejun found a video from ECTS ’95 on a cover disc from Génération 4 issue #78 showcasing the game, it was supposed to be the first Daytona USA-like racing game on the PC, featuring a mix of stuntcar and stockcar gameplay and capable of 60fps on a Pentium.

NIce find!
They’ve got to be target renders. Poor target renders at that. Look how clean the number plate text is in the 3rd picture. Saturn couldn’t do this. Also look at how straight the textures are. The PlayStation couldn’t do that. So that leaves the 3DO but I doubt that could draw textures that clean either.

This was also in development for the Atari Jaguar, not sure how far along they got with it though.

This game is pictured in the Amiga box version of Speris Legacy (by Team17), i recall the pictures but i am unsure what the name was, anyway the game was meant to be released for Amiga 1200 aswell as PSX/PC.
