Well, we haven't had a poll in awhile, so here you go. I hope I haven't omitted anything too glaring.

Clonaid (Immortality project) takes the cake in my book and there was also the case of John Romero...the game Daikatana which when it did materialize it sucked...too bad the ad campaign promised too much.Originally posted by basculeWell, we haven't had a poll in awhile, so here you go:

Duke Nukem Forever is at the top of my list. I've been following screenshots of that game since Quake 2 was out. Its gone through four different game engines and it still has no release date.
Why even bother working on it at this point?The dude abides.Comment

Yea but the tradeoff was wearing those stupid silver suits all the time, so I am not complaining.Comment

If by that you mean the late-'90s Playstation emulator, it was released - though I seem to remember that they were sued into nonexistence by Sony.Originally posted by CP99Kind of obscure, But bLEEM, in my books, was the most disapointing non-release of the all.Comment

Yes it was released, However a Dreamcast Version was being created during the lawsuite.
If we do some video game research we find that;
The PlayStation 2 plays PlayStation 1 games at a higher rez than the PlayStation 1
and that bLEEM for the Dreamcast. (bLEEMCast)
Could play Playstation 1 games at an even higher rez than the PlayStation 2 could.Comment

Bleemcast For Dreamcast WAS released
Bleemcast For Dreamcast WAS released, but in a lesser form than originally promised.
They opted to release single game packs though to emulate individual games instead of of the original game "PACKS" that would emulate many games.
I believe they released bleemcast for
Gran Turismo 2
Metal Gear Solid
Tekken 3
And then yes, it happened. Sony sued them out of existance.
The last incarnation of the bleem website had this image up for a few days.
