Red Baron 64 is a cancelled Nintendo 64 World War I fighter aircraft game that was in development by Sierra: the project was going to be a “remake” of the original Red Baron game that was released on PC in 1990, originally developed by Dynamix. The few screenshots available could have been taken from the PC version and we can only wonder if Sierra really started to work on the N64 version or it was just announced as an idea but then never worked on.

Planned as one of Nintendo 64’s launch titles, this Sierra shooter never took off.

I didn’t knew there was planned a “remake” of one of the best amigagames for the N64. Unlucky there got no attention to work on it :(
The 3DO version was at least started. ..
An ex-Dynamix source has confirmed this, but it was a quick and dirty port and they seem to think it was canned as the company didn’t think such a port would generate enough sales revenue.
Maybe they decided the same with the N64 version?
More on 3DO version which it sounds like did not get far at all….
I saw some
early code snippets of Red Baron at a licensee site when I was doing
field upgrades of development systems. They had a controllable model
of the Red Baron’s plane running. Probably never got beyond that
point.
