Wow, great link! Lots of good screenshots.

I had forget about Curly's Adventure, there was even a full demo for the game. There is an article here:
Curly's Adventure

The only other link I know of cancelled adventures is this one, it doesn't have as many screenshots as yours, I'm afraid, but there are a few.

Unfinished Games

Make sure you remember BOTH cancelled Sam and Max sequels.

Oh, and in the Inventory's preview of A Vampyre Story, they mentioned a game called Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix that never saw the light of day.

Yep. That's my personal number two "greatest waste of all time in the video game industry".

That's my number 3.

DJ Souza · 07-10-2004, 09:32 PM

Wow, I thought it was bad enough that they cancelled Full Throttle: Hell on Wheels, but the fact that I just find out, on another AG forum thread, this other Full Throttle: Payback project was also cancelled, is even worse!

There are certainly a lot of potential entries for the Museum of Dead Adventures project...

I believe this should sufficiently answer you're question...

A. It all depends on how well Simon 3 does. We've already got an outline design ready...

Guess that game aint ever going to see the light of day, shame though.

Hey, there!

I know this thread has been dead for quite a while, but I found some info on another cancelled game, and I am also curious to know more about the Sam & Max 2 museum that AG was planning to do. Is the Sam & Max 2 museum closer to be created now?

The other cancelled game is Little Big Adventure 3, here are some links:

i have the first 2 LBA games on cd but have never played them. don't even think i can run them.

I'm not positive but wasn't there a new Zork game in production a few years ago? i never did see it released.

MDMaster · 09-04-2004, 02:22 AM

If anybody is interested in cancelled adventures, you should definitely check out my 'For Absent Friends' post in the Adventure forum. Lots of info

By the way, gg, you can run them. The first LBA has an emulator of his own, LBA_win, and the second one can be run with VDMSound I think.

Simon · 09-04-2004, 04:02 AM

It was an adventure that had RPG elements (even RTS elements), but Ron Gilbert's Good & Evil (produced at Cavedog) was the game I was most excited about for a long time. There was a tiny bit of info on it, with about 3 screenshots, in an issue of PC Gamer, but that was enough to get me excited. It was due for the end of 1999 but never got completed.

The Sharky Extreme preview should give some idea of what it would have been like. Basically lots of time-travelling involving the eternal fight between good and evil in different periods, allowing you to visit Medieval times, Feudal Japan, the Wild West, a pirate land, etc. and gather a crazy RPG-style party of different characters to help you along the way.

This PC Gamer interview also has some details on the game.

It sounded incredibly ambitious, but I've not heard much about why it was actually abandoned. I was sad when I heard it had been, but unlike Sam & Max: Freelance Police I'd heard few facts and seen very few screenshots. So it was less painful a loss. These two games are probably the ones I wish had been finished and released the most though.

MDMaster · 09-04-2004, 05:54 AM

I never even heard this game, it certainly did look promising. By the way, I didn't even know Ron worked with Cavedog, I sure hope he did not work on those two big Total Annihilation turkeys!

remixor · 09-04-2004, 09:53 AM

He was a producer on both titles and did some design and story work.

Thanks!

I found the link:

For Absent Friends

ATMachine · 09-04-2004, 10:36 AM

I'll whore Mixnmojo's entry database for info on a few other cancelled sequels by LucasArts.

Forge, the canceled sequel to the fantasy adventure Loom

The Fold, the third game in the Loom series, which was scrapped before production began

There's also Loom designer Brian Moriarty's version of The Dig, which got quite far into production before being abandoned. We've been fortunate enough to get a lot of cool art from that version from former LEC employees.

And of course, there's the aforementioned Indiana Jones and the Iron Phoenix, which survived in comic-book form.

Edit: Also, Infinite Machine's console-only Sam and Max game.
