Must be a prototype for Mass Effect Andromeda

Fool's Requiem · Thursday at 2:24 AM

well... it IS a sci-fi game.

The publisher hyped this game up to an ungodly degree. Before they even had a completed game, they were prepping to build an entire franchise... a brand.

But then it flopped hard because the game was an unfinished, buggy mess with a cliffhanger ending.

Uh, there was a 1 million dollar contest regarding the game that was heavily advertised but due to a logistics disaster and utter failure of the game they called off the contest.

come on, surely someone has heard of this game...

Zone of the Enders Game

I looked it up and it's Advent Rising, but no I've never heard of it before.

I'll post one once I think of something good.

I thought it was a well known flop among gaming communities. Thought the 1 million dollar contest was the most obvious clue.

Evolution Dino Dudes?

Edit: Looks like that's it. It was also called "The Humans".

I assume you know of it because it was an Amiga game. I only know of it because it got a Jaguar port.

It was The Humans as I knew it, but I did look up if it was under a different title elsewhere and yeah, Dino Dudes.

Kind of Lemmings-esque in game mechanics, if I remember right.

I'm like 99% sure what this is, but I'll let someone else take a whack.

Kinda looks like Final Fight?

Smacktard · 2025-09-14T13:49:21+0100

Close but no cigar

Are you going annoyingly specific like Final Fight: Guy or what ever it was called?

Fool's Requiem · 2025-09-14T14:35:26+0100

I thought it was Final Fight too.

I know Guy is in Street Fighter Alpha, but I've never heard of a character named "Thrasher" being in any SF game.

Guy was in the arcade release I think but not in the main SNES release, they made a version where Guy replaced Cody or something along those lines

Yes! Because it's interesting! If you're that annoyed by it, you can pass the torch to Naeblis to choose the next game :link

It is interesting I only now of it from Retro Warriors podcast (and maybe retronauts)

Smacktard · 2025-09-14T15:46:09+0100

Is this like a Panel de Pon platformer or something? That crazy-haired broad seems familiar but I can't place her

Quagmire · 2025-09-14T15:50:49+0100

It is a platformer, never released out side of Japan

Nae'blis · 2025-09-14T16:33:00+0100

No clue what this is lol

Quagmire · 2025-09-14T18:05:31+0100
