Schwarzenberg is a cancelled third person shooter that was in development by Radon Labs in 2005, for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC. The game was set in World War II when the Third Reich was collapsing: Schwarzenberg was the name of a Nazi stronghold, a storage of plundered treasure beyond imagination and secret weapon projects. After the project was announced, it soon vanished without traces: maybe Radon Labs did not find a publisher interested in the game.

Worms Battle Rally is a cancelled racing / battle game similar to Mario Kart, that was in development by Team 17 in 2003 / 2004, probably planned for the Playstation 2, Xbox and GameCube. We can speculate that the gameplay was going to be similar to MK’s battle mode, at least from what we can see from the few screenshots preserved below, thanks to www.dream17.info.
Production on WBR was halted as part of the developer/publisher deal which resulted in Worms Forts: Under Siege.

In 1999 Sega announced that two PC fantasy RPG were heading to its flagship console. One was Bioware’s Baldur’s Gate while the other was NextTech‘s Dark Eyes. Sadly neither of them would end up running on Dreamcast. Set in a fantasy world, Dark Eyes enabled hundreds, if not thousand, of simultaneous players to interact and do battle via the Dreamcast’s built-in modem. An article appeared on PlayerOne issue 99 suggested how 3000 player could reside in the same universe and that the game was compatible with the ZIP drive.

The Swamp Thing is a cancelled action / platform game that was being developed for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive by Nuvision, the same team behind the unreleased Bean Ball Benny. There is a Nes title with the same name, created by Imagineering Inc, but it is a different game.
As we can read from the Sega Age Forums , in november 2010 a proto of The Swamp Thing was released to the community:
The game is unique to say the least. In this side scrolling 2D platformer, you travel around as Swamp Thing while taking out baddies intent on destroying the environment. During the game, you are able to take the form of various objects (like a leaf, log, and apple) to help you in keeping the forest clean.
This game was displayed at a CES show, and for one reason or another, was never finished or released. This proto locks up at the end of the first level, but it gives you a great idea of what the game would have looked like.

The studio was founded by John Woo and Terence Chang, to try to enter into the digital entertainment business after their popularity with films, but in the end they never released any game. In ShadowClan players would had took the role of a ninja able to control and to cooperate with multiple AI characters, a planned online mode was meant to have ninja-clans to fight against other human opponents. We dont know what happened to Tiger Hill Entertainment or how much of the game was done before its cancellation.
