God, no. Nobody thinks that. We're not in the business of ruining videogames around here.

I remember reading about that guy who got a hold of the California Games proto and said he wasn't going to have it dumped. I find the idea sickening to be honest. |
Best post ever.  z

Please elaborate since I am obviously clueless.
I think the real tragedy would be if these unreleased games were lost to time or disaster. It's bad enough that some games never got released even in prototype form. What would happen if you had the only copy of a game and you had a fire or it got stolen or something...

This thread was fake. He never found a proto, he just faked the whole thing. Many thought it was funny, but I didnt quite see the humor in it. Making many belive that a proto was found, make a fake pic of it being crushed then say its fake.
Anyway, what you said about not dumping a game and if the proto gets damaged and its the only one. I dont think the game would be lost forever. The developers who worked on the game probly have their own prototype.
But there are tons of games out there so if a few dont get released I wouldnt consider it as a big loss. Altho, there are one unreleased game I'd really wanted to be released and its Leisure Suite Larry 8 - Lust in Space.

It doesn't sound like you've done much research. Lust in Space was never even started, the farthest they got was an incredibly short demo video of what a 3D-modeled Larry Laffer might look like. I don't think Lowe even got around to designing the game. It's available on allowe.com.

This is a really interesting point, I never thought of it that way. Maybe I should reassess my values.

I know, Ive seen that 3d movie long time ago. Its still unreleased even if it wasnt made 
It was announced to be released for x-mas in 97 or 98. I remember I used to call a gamestore and ask about it.
Also says "Comming Soon" after you beat Larry 7. So.. yes, its a unreleased game. Its a shame tho 
Al Lowe is a legend!

You know... after reading all 11 pages, I'm starting to think there's something dubious about this whole story, but I can't... quite... put my finger on it.

I wondered the same thing. The thing actually looks like it came from a video game.
