Vanished Powers is a cancelled action adventure / RPG that was in development in 1995 / 1996 by Neon Software (creators of Tunnel B1) and it would have been published by Ocean for the original Playstation and PC. It was going to use an isometric 2D graphic style, with prerendered backgrounds and lots of FMVs, along with more than 70 (weird) characters, modeled with Silicon Graphics. In the end the Vanished Powers was never released, but we dont know the reasons behind this decision.

Alongside the SNES, Gameboy, Genesis and Game Gear versions, Viacom was set to release an arcade game based off of MTV’s Beavis and Butthead animated series. It was never released (and upon analyzing the videos and screenshots available, I could not make out a copyright date), but a handful of prototype cabinets are known to exist.

Kuma Soldier [PC-FX – Cancelled]

Kuma Soldier is a cancelled shooter in the famous Star Soldier series, planned for PC-FX (to not be confused with Super Star Soldier 3D also planned for PC-FX). As you can see from the short video below (taken from a promotional video made by NEC to promote the then brand-new system) the game provided a time attack mode, but it is unclear if it offered other gaming modes. CD Consoles magazine issue 5 cited how the game in early 1995 was only 20% complete. We can speculate that Hudson Soft cancelled Kuma Soldier when the PC-FX proved to be a failure in the japanese market.

As noticed by users of the Rising Stuff Forum, it seems that Hudson used some of the Kuma Soldier concepts to create Star Soldier R for WiiWare.

Gore is a cancelled side scrolling action game planned to be released for Amiga/PC/ST in 1990,  in development by DMA Design and published by Psignosis. The project was canned early in development when it became obvious that there wasn’t enough memory for all the graphics. Some images from this lost game were shared online by Mike Daily on his Flickr account, other scans and info are from Javalemmings and PsygnosisAmiga!

ThreeWave CTF for DMC [PC – Cancelled]

ThreeWave CTF is a modification made for Quake and Quake 2’s capture the flag multiplayer mode. It was very popular at its time, but only few players know that it was made not only for Quake. There is a Deathmatch Classic version of it, planned to be released in 2001, but it wasn’t. A beta was leaked in 2003 along with Half-Life 2, Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life: Source, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes and, partially, Team Fortress 2, and was sold by Russian company 7 Wolf as hidden part of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes (not called Deleted Scenes then).

The leak includes 21 maps from Quake version of ThreeWave CTF, all in Deathmatch Classic style and it is fully playable. Along with flags, it includes grappling hook and 4 runes: haste, regeneration, resistance and strength. However, like most alpha and beta versions, it has bugs. It crashes on when a team is selected. This is fixable by replacing its client DLL with the one from Deathmatch Classic, but some HUD elements get removed. However, it doesn’t lose its playability.

You can download the leak from Mod DB.
