Freefall was an interesting project that was in development in 2002 by Ironworks Studios. It was set in the 22nd century, in a sky-city 18 miles above the earth’s surface. Gameplay begins by jumping off a building and free-falling to the ground, avoiding obstacles, people and the police along the way. Sadly the game was cancelled while only in a prototype stage. Freefall was the “twin project” of Gemini.

Dexter’s Laboratory is an American animated series created by Genndy Tartakovsky about a boy genius named Dexter, who has a secret laboratory hidden behind a bookshelf in his bedroom. Various games were released to tie in with the series, all developed and produced by the now defunct publisher BAM! Entertainment. [Info from Wikipedia]
This Dexter project, know as “Robot Rumble” or “Extreme Robot Rumble” was going to be a brawl fighting game in which various home-made robots fought in small arenas, but it was never released. The game vanished when Bam Entertainment closed down. It seems that Robot Rumble was going to be developed with the help of N-Space. Only a few screenshots and concept arts remain from the project.
