Waterworld is a cancelled action game based on the film of the same name, that was planned to be released for the Sega Saturn. As noted in an interview by Ross Sillifant:
Ross: Ocean’s Waterworld: vapourware?
Mike Fullton: No Idea. I don’t recall that we had done anything with Ocean beyond talking. I can’t recall any projects getting started.
Thanks to Mekanaizer for the video!

Armed (also known as Aftermath) is a cancelled side-scrolling beat ’em up / action game that was in development by Interplay / Point of View / Activision (?) for the original Playstation and Saturn. The game could have been released under a different name but looking at the few screens preserved in the gallery below, it does not look like any other Activision / Interplay game published on the PSX or Saturn.
Thanks to Celine and Rod_Wod for the contribution! (some scan from Cd Consoles magazine issue #19)

Rap Basketball is a cancelled sport game that was in development by Motown Records for the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis. Thanks to D we have some more info that can be preserved about this unreleased game:
In 1994, Motown Records had wanted to enter into the video game industry, because Virgin was doing well.
Their first product was going to be called “Rap Basketball” and was said to actually have ‘Snoop Dog’ signed among other Rap artists. In January 1995, I was the sole artist assigned to the project at the time, and went out to research graffiti walls in order to paint cool backgrounds for SNES/SEGA ports using Deluxe Paint II, Deluxe Animation II, and Tume. Here are two actual screenshots day and night of the basketball court (missing the ‘boom-box’ and ‘player-characters’) I think it would have been a really fun game, too bad Motown decided against entering the video game business a few months later.
Thanks to SNES Central for some of these images!

Il Sega VR fu un progetto per la realtà virtuale casalinga annunciato da Sega nel 1991. Si trattava praticamente di una specie di maschera con integrati uno schrmo LCD e altoparlanti. Era dotata di un sensore in grado di percepire i movimenti della testa del giocatore e reagire di conseguenza. Purtroppo (o per fortuna a seconda dei punti di vista) il Sega VR prevedibilmente ebbe problemi nello sviluppo, anche legati ad eventuali effetti collaterali (come ad esempio mal di testa e fastidio agli occhi). L’add-on venne così abbandonato, cercando di sfruttare il concept della VR per gli arcade o per il Sega SAturn eventualmente. Fino ad oggi solo alcuni mock-up e articoli di riviste ci erano pervenuti a proposito di questo sfortunato progetto ma è stato pubblicato su YouTube un video che ci mostra lo stand Sega al CES 1993 con un video promozionale ed un test!
Aspettatevi presto un articolo completo sul Sega VR (non una traduzione da Wikipedia) nella futura sezione Console del sito!
