Pokémon Picross was stuck in development hell, with such work starting in 1999 for the Game Boy Color. For whatever reason, that version never got released and wouldn’t get an official release for a portable console until 16 years later.

This game was supposed to be the last in the franchise with Lara seemingly dying by falling to her death at the end. In Andy Sandham's own words; "we attempted to kill Lara off because we really thought we'd exhausted what we could do with the franchise. Seeing Lara falling down a gigantic hole in the middle of the pyramid was quite a joyous moment. So, we went for a few pints to celebrate her death."

Alien Resurrection
Alien Resurrection (2000)

Development on the game started as far back as 1996 to help prepare for the then-upcoming movie of the same name. Once it got the green light by Fox Interactive, they sent Argonaut huge boxes of scripts, storyboards and raw material used to make the movie.

The team originally utilized the game engine Gremlin Interactive used to create Loaded. Frustrated that the genre that Loaded used was starting to become outdated, Argonaut then recreated Alien Resurrection into a Tomb Raider-style game.

Technical difficulties also hindered them back, which forced them to turn the game from a second-person shooter to a first-person one.

Alien Resurrection would finally see the light of day on October 20, 2000, nearly five years since development began.

Deltarune
Deltarune (TBA)

Attachment Within the data for Chapter 2 is an alternate, sped-up version of "Digital Roots" that lacks the ambient wind sounds. The existence of this track is a marked deviation from the rest of both Deltarune and Undertale, which otherwise speed up and slow down tracks in real time.

The filename for this unused variation is "spamton_house.ogg"; as "Digital Roots" itself uses the filename "spamton_basement.ogg", this seems to imply that the faster version was originally meant for Spamton's shop, which instead uses "Dialtone" (named Spoiler:"spamton_neo_after.ogg" in the game's files) in the final game.

Pajama Sam: No Need to Hide When It's Dark Outside and Freddi Fish and the Case of the Missing Kelp Seeds were released on the Wii as Pajama Sam: Don’t Fear the Dark and Freddi Fish: Kelp Seed Mystery respectively, alongside Spy Fox: Dry Cereal, which kept its name. However, these ports ran off of the ScummVM emulator engine and did not use proper attribution, leading to all unsold copies of the games being removed from sale and destroyed, and mandatory donations being made to the Free Software Foundation.

According to Genki in an interview with Gamers Republic magazine, the game's hard difficulty was an intentional decision by the developers. They did not include any notes within the game that told the player what to do; instead, they aimed to communicate with the difficulty of the game by having the player refer to the body movements of the lead character Neo to decide how to progress.

Attachment In a Kingdom Hearts Ultimania for this game, there was an early design for Roxas that was shown off where he had hair and attire that greatly resembles Sora's. Spoiler:One possible reason for the change was to better hide the fact that Roxas is Sora's Nobody.
