Zamolxe ⭐ Unreleased Gameplay CuteFloor 2022-08-28 | Zamolxe is an unreleased real-time strategy game developed by Impale Entertainment (or Impale Ent in short), a short-lived division of the Romanian book publisher Nemira Media.They started to work on this game in December 1999. A few months later, they presented an early tech demo on the E3 trade show. Unfortunately, the company didn't have the resources to fund another 6 to 12 months of development and they couldn't find a publisher to invest in the game. So, it eventually got cancelled in mid-2000. Most of Impale's other projects suffered the same fate.Zamolxe is set in the ancient world and mainly inspired by the history of Romania. It was planned to play on multiple territories simultaneously with a unitary army and shared resources, especially in multiplayer mode. So, if a fortress is under siege, you could come with reinforcements from other regions. You also would have been able to use siege tools like ladders, boiling oil and siege towers. The E3 demo was already packed with unique features like the 180 degree view and the formation system, as well as original music by the Romanian band Phoenix, to show a sample of what Zamolxe would be like. Impale Ent intended to release the game by the end of the year 2000.In this video, you can see the very last build. Lead programmer Ionut Matasaru originally provided it to the now defunct pcGTW website, dedicated to PC games that weren't. This build is about 30% completed. It is playable as a single-player demo and includes two nations, Romans and Dacians. However, there are no campaign missions and no computer AI either, apart from basic unit behavior.

Even though it was initially titled Duke Nukem 4 as seen in this video, the devs later called it Duke Nukem Forever.Apogee started development in 1996, just before they knew how successful Duke Nukem 3D and how much of an impact a 3D first-person shooter would be. In the late 90s, everyone looked for 3D games. So, they scrapped the idea of another 2D platform game and started over to make Duke Nukem Forever stuck in development hell forever ... or at least for 12 years or so.In late December 2022, four prototype builds of Duke Nukem 4 got leaked to the public. Coming from rendering 3D models as 2D sprites, the look resembles more the style of Donkey Kong Country on the SNES than classic pixel art of the previous games. Since you aim with the mouse, the gameplay reminds a bit of Abuse.The prototypes don't have any music. The idea was to allow the players to listen to their own audio CD while they kick some butts. In this video, the game music of Duke Nukem II was used instead.0:00 Duke Nukem Forever0:15 October 8, 19965:33 October 21, 19968:40 October 24, 19969:56 November 8, 199610:51 Windows 95 Test11:55 Duke Nukem Editor
Voxel Doom ⭐ 3D Sprites in DOOM CuteFloor 2022-12-24 | Despite DOOM being almost 30 years old, there's still a huge modding community, and it's one of the most modded games of all time.

Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Prototype CuteFloor 2022-05-27 | Duke Nukem Forever is an infamous first-person shooter originally developed by 3D Realms, which spent well over a decade in development hell. Even though they began just a few months after the release of Duke Nukem 3D in 1996, it left behind a lively history before it got finished by another company, Gearbox Software, in 2011. The final game itself, ... well, it had no chance to meet expectations. Most people would have preferred to play the version they saw in the 2001 trailer.On May 8, 2022, never-before seen screenshots and video clips of the 2001 version got posted on 4chan's board, announcing to leak the actual files in June. However, they were published on the very next day instead. They include the assets, full source code, the game editor and binaries for two builds, August 21 and October 26, 2001.00:00 Intro01:21 The Lady Killer05:09 Lost Wages07:15 Leaving Las Vegas08:35 The Slick Willy12:05 Stratosfear15:48 This is not a boating accident!17:03 Power Struggle18:02 Countdown to Destruction18:46 Born to be Wild20:14 Heat Wave22:34 Ghost Town24:32 Ground Zero30:46 Deja Vu33:18 Rescue Mission36:34 Operation Shutdown41:55 Moon Patrol42:53 Mother Ship44:23 Extra Clips53:45 Character Zoo55:11 CreditsAs the prototype reveals, much of the gameplay the 2001 trailer presented was staged. The game as a whole is very incomplete. Basically, you can roughly play through the chapters "The Lady Killer" to "Countdown to Destruction". The following chapters are barely playable and transitions between most maps don't work. Going further, in "Rescue Mission", "Operation Shutdown", "Moon Patrol" and "Mother Ship", you find yourself in a bunch of empty rooms. As you may notice, the chapter "Deja Vu" resembles the very first map of Duke Nukem 3D, Hollywood Holocaust.The prototype comes with a completely different menu than the final game. In the prototype, you may freely change the color of its appearance and even change the background image. It comes with several background images ranging from color variations of the default one, gag images, a screenshot of the game Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja, as well as several images of attractive women from the late 90s. Some backgrounds are not safe for work and would probably have been removed before release.
Half-Life 2 CuteFloor 2022-05-07 | Half-Life 2 is a first-person shooter game done by Valve Corporation and distributed by Sierra Entertainment in 2004.

Earth has been conquered by a huge empire called the Combine, which has implemented a brutal police state. The G-Man put you into a train arriving at City 17 to meet a resistance group and bring down the Combine.Development of the game started in 1999, about six months after the original Half-Life game has been released. It was originally planned to be demonstrated at E3 2002 and ended up to be unveiled at E3 2003. In September 2003, however, Valve's internal network was compromised by a hacker and the source code of Half-Life 2 got leaked.

In the same year, the Italian team Holografix developed an MS-DOS version which was never released.Some would say there was a DOS version of this game. That's true, but it was from a different team, East Point Software, which came out in 1995. So, what happened?Well, Francesco Iorio and his high school classmate Matteo Tesser were studying ever since they were teenagers how to develop video games and used to regularly send materials to the Italian magazine The Games Machine. It was through the magazine that Holodream Software, which already released several titles for years, got in contact with those guys. In that time, they were recently signing a publishing agreement with Team 17.It was the publisher Team 17 who asked Holodream if they know someone who has enough skills to port Overdrive to the MS-DOS platform. So, they gave this idea to Iorio, who then worked on a prototype and sent it to Team 17. They seemed to like it and gave permission to Iorio and Tesser to handle the DOS port. These two guys called themselves Holografix.However, this didn't last long. Team 17 never provided any source code of the original Amiga version, so Holografix had to write everything from scratch. After sending several beta versions, the publisher decided the project was going too slow and they commissioned East Point Software to do the DOS port.Unlike the official DOS port, Holografix' version of the game featured four opponents on the track instead of two, completely different AdLib / Sound Blaster music, and it was designed to run smoothly at 60 FPS even on a 386SX.

Star Wars: Rebel Assault CuteFloor 2022-02-12 | Rebel Assault is an interactive movie game done by LucasArts in 1993. It is the first Star Wars game that has been released on CD-ROM only and one of the oldest games that extensively used full motion videos on the PC. The videos were used to display pre-rendered 3D graphics that were far ahead of what a PC could render in real-time at the time. Because of this, the level of the player's control is extremely limited. It is one of the hardest games I've ever played. Rebel Assault has been released for PC MS-DOS, Sega CD, Apple Macintosh and 3DO.We had already uploaded a video of this game years ago. However, it soon got blocked because of the Star Wars theme music used in this game as most of our Star Wars game videos did after a while.

Super Star Wars ⭐ Unreleased PC Version CuteFloor 2021-11-27 | Super Star Wars is an unreleased arcade action game developed by Brain Bug in 1995. It was supposed to be an MS-DOS port of Lucas Arts' game for the SNES.In 1994, during the development of the platform game Lollypop, some employees at Brain Bug did some research on the Mode 7 effect (a 3D-like mode on the SNES) for the PC and wrote a little demo. They showed it to Softgold, a German company which was publishing Lollypop. Softgold had close connections to Lucas Arts as they were responsible for German localizations of their adventure games.To make the long story short: One of the favorite SNES games of the Brain Bug devs was Super Star Wars, so their demo had graphics that looked like its Mode 7 level. Brain Bug came up with the idea to port the entire game to the PC, Softgold told Lucas Arts about it and Lucas Arts gave it a go.When the game was almost finished, the communication to Lucas Arts came to a halt. After asking several times about the status, Lucas Arts' reply wasn't a nice one. They had been changing their management and decided that it woudn't fit in their other Star Wars games they were working on. So, Brain Bug eventually had to stop development.We had already uploaded a video of this game years ago. However, it soon got blocked because of the Star Wars theme music used in this game as most of our Star Wars game videos did after a while. So, imagine well done music in this one.

Zorro ⭐ Worst Game Ever? CuteFloor 2021-08-22 | Zorro is a platform game done by Capstone Software in 1995. It shares some similarities to Prince of Persia, but it's considered inferior and hard to play. This game features cutscenes with live actors.Did someone ever get past the first couple of levels?
Light Quest ⭐ Ambitious Unreleased Game CuteFloor 2021-08-07 | Light Quest is a cancelled platform game, which was planned to be released by Ubisoft in 1991. The graphics were all done by Laurent Cluzel, who also did the ambitious concept, and Alain Fernandes was responsible for developing the game. However, it never got finished. It was planned for PC MS-DOS, NEC PC-9801, Commodore Amiga and Atari ST.The story takes place in the land of Arké, a tear-shaped island that was previously peaceful. However, the powerful witch Zora has taken up residence in the eastern lands, turning the entire region into a stinking cesspool.This game was planned to be playable in three different modes, where you could play as a human-elfish warrior, a leprechaun or a magician. By choosing the warrior, the game got strait arcade by using a sword and summoning elemental powers. The leprechaun mode made it an action game, where you had to use the right elements to get out of trouble. As a magician, it turned into an adventure with a notion to solve puzzles. In each mode, it should eventually be possible to play two heroes simultaneously.In this video, you can see a very, very early and almost unplayable build of the PC version, which also includes an editor. It does not necessarily represent how far the game got done.Thanks to the former pcGTW project for providing this demo.
Tomb Raider Pre-Alpha Tech Demo (1995) CuteFloor 2021-07-10 | This is an early prototype of Tomb Raider, which was done by Core Design to demonstrate what the engine was already capable of. Tomb Raider has a custom engine that uses a grid system for the level maps. Unlike the final game, this prototype also has angled walls in some corners, even though they behave like normal blocks.You may notice that Lara actually has a braid and wears sun glasses, much like in FMV cutscenes and in some promotional materials. However, Core Design had technical issues implementing the braid, so it was replaced by a bun.This prototype has only one map with a bunch of empty rooms. Some textures look a lot like those used in the City of Vilcabamba level in the final game. There is a small bear wandering around and a wolf that doesn't do anything. Those two animals allow to demonstrate the dual-aiming capability that was scrapped later. You can't shoot in this prototype. Lara has different and longer animations, and not all movements were implemented yet.Raidercast discovered and shared this prototype, Gh0stBlade made it playable, and Tomb of Ash made it public. Some footage of this tech demo first appeared on the fansite Planet Lara.
Theme Hospital Alpha Demo (1995) CuteFloor 2021-06-19 | Theme Hospital went through several changes before it was released in March 1997. When development started in late 1994, it was originally planned to feature diseases from real hospitals and to be set in different time periods. However, after much research and since Theme Park was more colorful and naturally more fun, Bullfrog Productions decided to use fictional illnesses instead. The release of the game was pushed back several times.In this video, you can see an early self-running demo from 1995, which is quite picky to get run properly. It has a completely different user interface and other stuff not seen in the final game. At that time, they still planned to release it in Spring 1996.Also, they still intended the game to have four time periods: medieval, Victorian, modern and futuristic. You were supposed to start with the medieval era and progress through the later ones.This demo appears to have some sort of sound support, but still, we couldn't get it to work.
Development of Shadow Warrior (1993–1997) CuteFloor 2021-06-05 | As the original Shadow Warrior game is available for free on Steam, 3D Realms and Devolver Digital officially published a number of prototypes with it in 2017. They provide an interesting look at the development process of Shadow Warrior we know today.0:00:00 1993, September 160:01:28 1994, May 230:07:09 1995, January 150:26:04 1995, February 101:09:11 1995, September 81:41:58 1996, June 112:17:22 1996, June 272:23:22 1996, August 122:26:32 1996, November 282:30:09 1997, April 4☯ 1993, September 16:The earliest incarnation is a simple proof-of-concept demo, which is just called Ninja. It was sent to Scott Miller of Apogee by Jim Norwood. The demo features a little intro and a Japanese-style environment with some ninjas wandering around. You can't do anything except exploring the map and quit. The Wolfenstein 3D-like engine was likely written by Gerald Lindsly.☯ 1994, May 23:This is a work-in-progress prototype using an early version of Ken Silverman's Build engine. It has a bright "medieval Japan" style of art and some sort of spell-casting system, which didn't make it to the final game. The very first public pre-release screenshots were done in this build or a build close to this.☯ 1995, January 15:This version uses rough photo-sourced images for the first-person hands and active weapons, which were not cleaned up yet. So, you may get a glimpse of the room where the shots were taken. If you look closely, you can even see the face of the guy that held the props and made the moves. Additional graphics like flipping through a spell book or playing Game Boy go unused in this build. This prototype comes with four maps and introduces a rippling water effect, which was also used in LameDuke, the public beta version of Duke Nukem 3D. A similar effect appears in the final version of Ken Silverman's Build engine.☯ 1995, February 10:The February 1995 prototype is quite similar to the January prototype, but it includes a lot more maps to explore. Also, several graphics were changed or added, and code changes made the game more stable.☯ 1995, September 8:This prototype got much further. It has several new maps, enemies work well, and it now has a full set of weapons. The spell system was also improved a bit. This is the closest snapshot before the in-house Duke Nukem 3D team took over development after finishing their game. After this, the game's direction was radically changed.☯ 1996, June 11:This prototype shows the game after development moved to the Duke Nukem 3D team. It introduces vehicles that you may use and new weapons that also appear in the final game. The spell system is about to be completely removed. There is also a mix of old and new maps. The new ones roughly go towards the modern urban theme of the final version. However, many of these new maps were cut later. Now there is a proper title screen based on the scrapped box art that was published in magazine previews and advertisements in that time. It shows a shirtless ninja fighting the Serpent God boss. The new player's sprite is also based on this design.☯ 1996, June 27:In this June 27 prototype, the spell system is gone completely. The player's sprite has changed once again. It is similar to the June 11 one, but it was completely redrawn. The railgun has been added, and there are some new enemy sprites. Surprisingly, several voxels have been introduced. They resemble some enemies and character designs that either got scrapped in this prototype or in a later version.☯ 1996, August 12:The August 12 prototype is on the way getting closer to the final version of Shadow Warrior. While most stuff is the same as in the previous prototype, the weapon arsenal is mostly finalized.☯ 1996, November 28:The November 1996 prototype is a demo sent to the publisher GT Interactive. At this stage, the game is quite close to the final game. Most things are in place and just need some polish, and the art style is pretty close to the retail version. Some maps are also quite close to be finished, while other ones still have a way to go.☯ 1997, April 4:This is a previously leaked version that was compiled shortly before release. It was shared by a tech support employee who wanted to play a net game with a friend of his. The prototype got spread around and as a result, that employee was soon fired. A lot of data deleted from the final game is still present in this prototype. There are still some minor differences and only four shareware maps are playable by default. However, all other maps are present in the .grp data file and playable after extracting and loading as user maps. They range from old maps found in early prototypes back in 1995 up to new ones not seen before. Some of the maps made a last encore appearance before they got cut entirely.
Falcon 3.0 ⭐ Early Pre-Release Demo CuteFloor 2021-05-22 | Falcon 3.0 is a combat flight simulation game developed by Sphere and published by Spectrum Holobyte in 1991. It's the third installment in the Falcon series and one of the few games released before 1995, which optionally supported the math coprocessor (FPU, now standard since the 80486 CPUs).In this video, you see a playable demo version that was distributed several months before the final release. If you know the full game, you may notice some differences.
The Legend of Kyrandia: Book 3 - Malcolms Revenge CuteFloor 2021-04-25 | Malcolm's Revenge is a graphical point-and-click adventure game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in 1994. It's the third installment in the Legend of Kyrandia series.After everyone blamed the jester Malcolm killing the Queen and the King of Kyrandia, Malcolm turned to stone and was dumped in a junkyard outside the castle. However, a thunder striked him and turned him into life again. Now it's his turn to tell his version of the story.
Sound Blaster 16 ⭐ Creative Labs / Creative Technology CuteFloor 2021-03-19 | The Sound Blaster 16 is an ISA (and later PCI) sound card first introduced by Creative Technology in June 1992. It is the successor to the Sound Blaster Pro and features 44.1 kHz stereo sound, a Yamaha OPL3 FM synthesis chip, an MPU-401 compatible UART, and a connector to the Wave Blaster daughterboard, which allows wavetable synthesis. Some Sound Blaster 16 cards provided an additional IDE connector for use with one CD-ROM drive, for computers that didn't have a spare IDE connector for it. There were also cards that had a socket for an additional signal processing chip to support PCM compression/decompression in hardware. However, this was somewhat short-lived and dropped in later revisions.Like its predecessors, the original Sound Blaster and the Sound Blaster Pro cards, the Sound Blaster 16 quickly became a de-facto standard and widely supported by games in the DOS era. It was even so popular that Creative decided to produce PCI versions of the Sound Blaster 16. However, these are actually based on Ensoniq AudioPCI – technically unrelated to the ISA cards. The Sound Blaster 16 PCI cards don't have an OPL FM synthesis chip, instead they use the Ensoniq sample-synthesis engine to simulate it, which is considered very inaccurate.In this video, you can see the MMPLAY demo that was shipped with the Sound Blaster 16 drivers in 1993. Did you own a Sound Blaster 16 card? What are your experiences? Leave a comment! :)
Master of Orion CuteFloor 2021-02-20 | Master of Orion is a turn-based strategy / 4X game (Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate) developed by Simtex and published by MicroProse in 1993. In this game, you lead one of several races to dominate the galaxy through diplomacy and conquest while developing technologies and colonizing star systems. You somewhat could see it as Civilization in space.The prototype of Master of Orion, Star Lords (not to be confused with Starlord also by MicroProse), has been released as freeware in 2001.
