Games that never made it, that you wished had...

Post by Parris »

StarBlade: Operation Blue Planet NAMCO

I posted this thread a long time ago on a rare development website and didn't get much feedback on it as frankly they didn't do much with arcade stuff. Sadly, it sank to the bottom with only a few comments. The theme of the thread was 'Games that never made it, that you wished had...'

This is one title I really got excited about, then very disappointed when it was shelved. Oh, how I would love to get my hands on it, and if ANYONE knows anything about the title, has more information or better images, please post them or PM me. I believe it was due to run on a Namco System 245(6) and be projected onto a screen ahead of the player. You slid into the bubble (O.R.B.S.) and the back of the seat sealed you into the unit. My guess is that health & safety these days would freak. It wouldn't be allowed in the UK, that's for sure!

I never played the card games but...

Magic the Gathering Armageddon always struck me as a game with potential.

Hhmmmm, really? I shall have a look at that as I hadn't heard of it! It's quite possible that Namco just ditched the games title, but liked the packaging lol - why a Gundam title though!?

Gundam is basically a money printing machine. Even at 500 yen a pop, Senjou no Kizuna has been played to death and back.
