“It Came From The Desert” (Sega Genesis) - January 31, 2009
Brandon Cobb has written a fantastic very in-depth and detailed article about the unreleased Sega Genesis game, "It Came From The Desert", with the full story of the game from conception to cancellation straight from its designer / developer, Matt Harmon. This is an excellent read and worth checking out … Click here to read it.
As you will learn from the article, this is a very different game to the Amiga original. As an extra bonus, the Genesis prototype is also available to download from Cinemaware’s official site - fantastic stuff!

Thanks to bitrate, who recently got his hands on a playable version of the M2 Dolphin demo, you can now watch some great footage of it on YouTube:

Even though this was just a tech demo to showcase some of the M2’s features, it looks very game-like and would have made a nice Ecco game or something similar.

All we know about IMEC Design is that they produced what we see in these screenshots. We can safely assume that there was the duo J. Lewis and J. Wood behind the name and that most of the games you’re about to see were developed around 1990.
If they are half as hot to play as they look, then it’s worth keeping hunting for them!
First off we have the cute looking Junk Buster…

The PC version of Turrican 3 is still a big mystery to us, despite the fact that we spent lots of time talking to many people from Brain Bug (who were partly involved) and Rainbow Arts. Even though we still don’t know who did the coding, how complete it was, or why and when it got cancelled, we were finally able to get our hands on the graphics files that Brain Bug created for the PC conversion.
Similar to the PC version of Turrican II, the graphics for Turrican 3 were greatly updated to use 256 colors as well. And the results are stunning! So let us publish a small selection of enemy graphics, hoping to get some attention by someone who worked on the game and who can tell us more.

A small photo gallery has been added to the GTW3DO website showing actual 3DO M2 hardware and software:

This will hopefully grow into a virtual museum in the near future. We still have quite a few items lying around which are not photographed yet, so expect more photos soon. (but not too soon 
)
