Motocross Challenge [GBA – Cancelled]

From 2004 to 2007 DHGames were working on a GBA racing game similar to Excitebike, but sadly their publisher changed its mind later and the project was never released to the market, even if it was finished. The game was later reworked and it’s now coming out for the Nintendo DS (maybe? It seems that the official DHGames site is down, maybe they have closed down and the DS version is cancelled too). A rom of the original GBA version was shared online by the same developers, so it can be played and preserved by the community instead of being lost forever. Props to DHGames!

In April 2010 Motocross Challenge was finally released for the iPhone / iPod Touch, so at least it was not lost at all! You can see some videos of the iPhone version in DHGames’ YT Channel or buy Motocross Challenge from the iTunes Store (only $0.99!)

U-Force Power Games (NES) now leaked!

The NintendoAge community was able to rise enough money to obtain and share a rom of the cancelled NES game “U-Force Power Games“. Two beta versions of the game are now available to download, one leaked by DreamTR and the other by Skyybe: huge props to everyone for these new dumps! Keep in mind that this game was designed for the U-Force controller so probably only those few lucky people that owns one could be able to play the game, on a real NES with a cart reproduction from RetroZone.

Tyrian 2000 [GBA – Cancelled]

The original Tyrian was a shoot ’em up developed for the PC by Eclipse Productions (later named World Tree Games) and published in 1995 by Epic MegaGames. A version of Tyrian 2000 was in development for the Game Boy Advance, but after the then publisher Symmetry Entertainment had closed business, the European publisher Stealth Productions, Inc. (Stealth Media Group, Inc.) obtained the publish rights, but it was cancelled. The game was eventually leaked online as a rom.

2 Sidekick weapons can be fired at the same time. Super Arcade and audio are not included. New to this game is Challenge mode, where additional levels are unlocked by completing existing Challenge levels. [Infos from Wikipedia] You can find more about Tyrian in here.

Prince of Persia Zero video: the early days of PoP Prodigy

Do you remember those small screens from an early Prince of Persia: Prodigy prototype that were released by Surfer Girl in January 2008? Well, now we are able to see that “alpha” version (aka Prince of Persia Zero) in motion.. and it was really beautiful, even if the final game was not like this. It seems that they created various different concepts for the project before choosing its final style. Check the video below to see PoP0 in motion:

Update: as we can read over at GameSetWatch, thanks to “David Pettitt” we learn that this video was “a target render that the team pitched the game with”. It seems that Ubisoft showed the full Target Render at a Vancouver SIGGRAPH event. Anyone has the full video?

Update: The user Danyq94 found that video on YouTube:
