The game was in development at Infogrames / Atari Lyon House Studio in 2002 / 2003 for the Playstation 2, but it was soon cancelled for unknown reasons.

We had a little interview with Mr. Mark, to talk about Hoppin Mad, the preservation of unseen games, the delicate relationship between collectors / developers / gaming community, the future release of the game and some of his personal tastes. >> Read the full interview
Justice was a concept for a new game that was in development at Lionhead Studios, but not many information are available on it’s gameplay elements or story. From the few concept arts that remain from this cancelled project, it seems that Justice was set in a distant future, inspired by Blade Runner.
