Barb Wire [PSX – Cancelled]

Written by

Others, PC / MAC, Playstation, Saturn, Sega, Sony

Barb Wire is a cancelled FPS that was in development for the original Playstation, Saturn, PC and Mac. The game was based around a film ( with the same name ) that flopped badly at theaters: the blonde girl in those shots is Pamela Anderson. Thanks to Celine we found some info on the game, that were published in GamePro Magazine issue 92. It seems that in the game we would have been able toplay solo or to compete in a two-player mode that enabled one player to be Barb and the other to play as an evil boss. It included a deathmatch mode with specifically designed multiplayer levels. The game was going to be published by GT Interactive.

This game is haunting me 😐

The blonde girl in those shots is Pamela Anderson.
Pamela’s curse upon videogames seems enduring 😀

This is weird, you can almost hear the Xfiles theme in your head.

This game is accessible on the current PSN store as of 2020/01/05

Though the second you visit the site, it tells you something is went wrong. Viewing a cached version from Google shows you there’s a synopsis of the game but not much else

  Ha, weird. I went ahead and archived the page so that way it slows it down enough so you can read it properly before the redirect.
