For more info about cancelled Sega VR Games:
Seed [PC – Cancelled]
Seed is a cancelled FPS that was in development in 1998 by Human Soft, a team from Hungary. The particularity of this game was the colorful lighting engine, as you can see from the screenshots below, some of which were found by derboo in PowerPlay magazine 7/1998. Seed was proposed to be a new action game that aimed to blend the gameplay of a first person shooter with the action approach of a console title. In the end it seems that Human Soft were not able to find a publisher interested in their project and Seed remained unfinished.
A beta demo was released online and you can download it at File Planet. Thanks a lot to Solaris for the videos!

Too cold to write, have a nice xmas and see you in 2011!
Is it snowing outside? Are you waiting for xmas presents? Well, the Unseen 64 Staff is going in vacation, too (even our server was tired and died a couple of times in these last few days, sorry for down-time!). From tomorrow, 20th of December, this site will be in “Winter Break Mode 2010”, we are going to relax somewhere around the world and dream about beta games while we are playing near the fireplace or skiing down the mountains.
Don’t worry! We’ll be back the 7 of January 2011 with all the updates and news from the unseen videogames’ world. In the meantime, there are still lots of things to do while we are away:
– Look and read: Check our archive of beta and cancelled videogames and read our articles.
– Contribute: Would you like to help the Unseen 64 Archive? Read how you can help U64 to preserve more beta screens, videos and info! Remember that now you can edit all the pages in the Unseen 64 archive, just like in Wikipedia! You can also create a new page for a new beta / cancelled game that is still missing from the archive.
– Interact: Join the U64 Forum to discuss about unseen games with other geeks! We’ll post some updates and unseen-news in the forum while the site will be in winter break mode.
– Share: Do you have a website or a blog? Spread the unseen! Add www.unseen64.net to your blogroll or in your links page, write a post about lost games, talk about U64 with your friends, and share your beta-geekness. If more people know about this site, we could have more contributions and the archive can grow with more screens, videos, and info!
– Donate you love: Your best gift for this xmas? Another year of unseen games preservation! Donate a bit of your love to U64, to help us to pay for the server that will keep up the site for the next year. Every cent is really appreciated and sent towards the site. You know, we are an indipendent community and we work on this for free just because we are super geeks! But it costs a lot to pay the server to archive all these unseen games.

Thanks to everyone that supports U64 with love. See you all very soon!
The Swamp Thing [GEN MD – Cancelled]
The Swamp Thing is a cancelled action / platform game that was being developed for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive by Nuvision, the same team behind the unreleased Bean Ball Benny. There is a Nes title with the same name, created by Imagineering Inc, but it is a different game.
As we can read from the Sega Age Forums , in november 2010 a proto of The Swamp Thing was released to the community:
The game is unique to say the least. In this side scrolling 2D platformer, you travel around as Swamp Thing while taking out baddies intent on destroying the environment. During the game, you are able to take the form of various objects (like a leaf, log, and apple) to help you in keeping the forest clean.
This game was displayed at a CES show, and for one reason or another, was never finished or released. This proto locks up at the end of the first level, but it gives you a great idea of what the game would have looked like.
