Scooby Doo (unfinished version)

Remember the early adverts for Scooby Doo? Totally different to the final game that came out about a year later.
It looked as if some of it was complete. Anyone get a bootleg of it or something as a TZX?

    I very much doubt that anything from the advertised version of Scooby Doo will ever surface.

    I'm thinking of adding a "Games that time forgot" page to the .tzx vault which would include adverts / interviews about :-

    The original advertised version of Scooby Doo
    The original advertised version of Airwolf by Ocean
    Fornax and Gath by Gargoyle
    Mire Mare by Ultimate
    Miner Willy meets the Taxman from Software Projects

    plus other games that never made it.

    What does everyone else think?

    there was also another Dizzy game to be released after the last one ( Crystal Kingdom Dizzy was the last one) which never saw the light of day, Its sitting in Codemasters vaults gathering dust. I dont know what it was to be called or what the working title was though. I'm so pissed about that. DAMN!!! icon_frown.gif

    Nope Solar Jetman was done (and not released) by STORM, Which also released SWIV, Rodland and St.Dragon. (maybe it is not true, but in adverts was STORM written). Crystal Kingdom Dizzy (I think it was DIZZY 7), was released for Speccy, I got all Dizzies (By Codies, and russian too)

    What about "Samurai Dawn" by FTL - There's an advert for it in one of the preview sections in YS. Anyone know anything about it?

    And what about "Corporation"? I saw a Preview of it in Your Sinclair and the finished c64 version. Or TOKI from Ocean? Oh my god, if I just could grab my claws into these treasures in the archives of some companies...

    Solar Jetman was released on the NES, and you can get a NES emulator and the game here ...

    www.planetemu.net

    The site is in French and their English version of the site doesn't seem to be working at the moment, but its all fairly easy to navigate anyway.

    There's something called Dizzy 8 on Edge Emulation. Mail me for URL. Also other interesting stuff to be had if you can withstand the many popups.

    The Dizzy 8 there is a Russian game, it's not official, it's called A Little Joke, i have all those on my site. I think the game that comes after Crystal Kingdom Dizzy and Fantastic Dizzy is Wonderland Dizzy, which was never released.

    An old friend of mine works at a hi-profile UK game producer and his boss apparently worked on the Scooby Doo what was previewed in Crash.

    The version I got (from the Monkey not the Grinder) was that the version in Crash was a bunch of mockups giving the impression of a LaserDisc game. When the programmers realised they cou;ldn't handle it they passed it on, hoping the marketing department could fool the public into thinking the next mega game was on it's way.

    Says a lot, that...

    Hi Chris,

    Can you ask if there are any surviving development tapes which may have the mock screen shots on them?

    Cheers,
