Tidal Riders is a cancelled racing / sport game that was in development by Bungarra Software in 2001 / 2003 for the Playstation 2. The player would have been able to ride around the globe in various and different tracks, to race against the AI or to reach new high scores in trick mode. It seems that Bungarra tried to find a publisher for the project but without luck, and even in 2004 they signed a PAL territory Publishing Agreement with XS Games LLC to release the game in Europe.. but something went wrong and as far as we know, Tidal Riders was never released in the end.
Come ormai da alcuni anni, il 3 e 4 ottobre 2009 a Monza si terrà il Video Games History, esposizione videoludica organizzata dai ragazzi di Games Collection. Fra retrogames, tornei multiplayer per le ultime console, pubblicità d’epoca (ocio però!), incontri fra nerd e discussioni filosofiche, un’area-museo dedicata a tutti gli amanti di unseen games: alcuni prototipi e beta provenienti dalle raccolte private dei maggiori collezionisti italiani.
L’anno scorso abbiamo partecipato all’evento e Nicola ha sopportato per un oretta questi maniaci di unseen games, mostrandoci alcuni dei prototipi che aveva portato per l’occasione. Abbiamo potuto giocare ad Iron Hammer (titolo mai uscito per il “visore virtuale” del Mega Drive), una versione medica di Dyno Blaze (ahah WTF?), ammirare console mai rilasciate come il Panasonic M2, segarci guardando le cartucce demo per N64 e piangere sulla beta di Beirut Breakout (versione preliminare di Desert Strike) che non partiva.
Parte dello staff di U64 sarà presente anche quest’anno all’evento, per un piccolo meeting dei collaboratori e degli utenti italiani di Unseen 64. Per conoscerci, giocare qualche beta e fare i nerd senza limite.
Per accordi sul meeting di U64, potete lasciare un messaggio di commento a questo post oppure mandarci una email a [email protected]
Per maggiori informazioni sull’evento date un’occhiata alla pagina dedicata su Games Collection. Il VGH 2K9 si svolgerà presso l’URBAN CENTER di MONZA Via Filippo Turati 8 (a due passi dalla stazione dei treni) nei giorni di sabato 3 ottobre (dalle ore 10.00 alle 20.00) e domenica 4 ottobre (dalle ore 10.00 alle 18.00). Ecco il luogo su Google Maps.
Keeper of the Gates is a cancelled action game that was in development for the Genesis / Mega Drive by Razorsoft. This was meant to be a sequel to Stormlord, in which we would have played through 8 levels with hard puzzles and traps to resolve. Also, “six players would have been able to alternately compete in tournament play, to test their adventuring skills”. The project was never finished for unknown reasons.
Celine has found some screens of the Game in EGM 40 & 41, while Ross Sillifant found even more in Sega Force magazine, you can check them all in the gallery below!
Thanks to The Punisher we found out that Keeper Of The Gates was going to be a new game in the Stomlord series or a port of Stormlord 2: Deliverance. The screens from the Genesis / Mega Drive version look exactly like S2:D released for Amiga, as we can see at Hall of Light.
Galidor: Defenders of the Outer Dimension, also known simply as Galidor, is a show that ran on Fox Kids in 2002 with a total of 26 half-hour episodes. The show is centered around the journey of Nicholas Bluetooth, a 15 year old whose life is turned upside-down after receiving a strange floating alien map over his bed on the eve of his 15th birthday. [Info from Wikipedia]
In 2003 Asylum Entertainment developed and released (published by Electronic Arts for PC (and GBA) only) a platform / action game game based on the Galidor show. The early version of the main character was different from the one that was later used in the final game and even the hud was changed.
Whilst the PC and GBA versions were released, the PS2 version, as well as a GameCube release were cancelled, which was unfortunately due to financial problems.
Thanks to Celine and Vitas Varnas for the contribution!
