New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

We’re back again!

Hello dear readers of Unseen64. As you may notice we have been down for quiet a while. This was because of we grew out of our hosting plan’s server capacity aka we were getting too many visitors.  We have found a new box with enhough capacity for a while, so this shouldn’t happen anytime soon again! We would also like to thank everyone who followed us on Twitter the latest weeks when we were down for all the support!

Updates will  start again on the 1st of  March so that we have some time to fix out bugs :) In the meantime you could read the archive and/or join the forum (http://forum.unseen64.net/) and discuss with us if you want! If you find any troubles on the site, please report in this post.

Thank you for your time,

The webmaster.

X-COM Alliance [PC – Cancelled]

X-COM: Alliance is a cancelled FPS / Strategy game that was in development in 1999 / 2000 by Hasbro Interactive’s Chipping Sodbury office in the UK and later by their studio in Hunt Valley, USA. As we can read in Wikipedia, unlike other games in the X-COM series, most of which were turn-based strategy, the game had the player assume the role of a trooper in an X-COM squad and through the first-person perspective of a squaddie, to fight the hostile alien invaders. At the end of 1999, the Hunt Valley studio survived the first round of studio closures enacted by Hasbro Interactive when they decided to scale back their efforts in the video game industry. Later in 2000, however, the Hunt Valley studio was also closed down and the game was “shelved”.
