Dungeon Keeper 3 was to take Bullfrog's classic strategy series in a new direction before EA canned the project in 2000 amid cuts and a shift towards other licences.
Here is a rescued PCGTW feature with recollections from lead designer Ernest W. Adams:

📗 THE GAMES THAT WEREN'T by @bitmap_books and @fgasking
The Games That Weren't aims to lift the lid on these stories and give these unknown titles a chance to shine – even if we weren't able to actually play them as their developers intended.

Amiga shooter revival Apidya’ Special is out in August, with physical releases planned. This isn't an emulated version but rather rebuilt from the ground up. They've added visuals from a cancelled '90s console version too.

Push A Block
A budget Pengo-style puzzler that was never to be for the #C64 and #ZXSpectrum. The C64 version was preserved and released by #GTW in 2006

A neat #C64 single screen budget platformer, created by the developer of the unreleased Murder! by U.S Gold. The full game was preserved and released by #GTW in 2007.

Apocalypse 2
Sequel to the classic #C64 title by Simon Nicol on the #SNES, sadly too late in the day for the platform. Released some time ago, we've now added the 1997 final build, screenshotted for @RetroGamer_Mag #GTW feature back in 2005.

Following recent coverage of Argonaut's cancelled PS2 edition, we take a look at an even earlier Æon Flux adaptation. Developed by Cryo Interactive in 1996, the PlayStation game never saw release, but a surviving prototype reveals what might have been.

Bad Max was a unique 3D graphic adventure released by Transoft for Amstrad CPC in 1985, complete with 3D glasses. Magazine coverage also advertised Commodore 64 and Thomson MO5/TO7 versions, but no trace of them has surfaced so far. Can they be saved?

Acolyte is a cancelled Clockwise title that came remarkably close to release. Thanks to Dean Hickingbottom, we're adding a new and early Amstrad CPC prototype to the archives, alongside the previously recovered ZX Spectrum and CPC builds.
