New Cancelled Games & Their Lost Media Added to the Archive

In May 2008, mrmark0673 found a working prototype of Hoppin Mad, an unreleased NES game developed by Elite. The game was previously unknown to the public and when it was found, the NES community was really happy to check all the infos and screens that were freely shared online by its new owner. We had a little interview with Mr. Mark, to talk about Hoppin Mad, the preservation of unseen games, the delicate relationship between collectors / developers / gaming community, the future release of the game and some of his personal tastes. >> Read the full interview

Justice was a concept for a new game that was in development at Lionhead Studios, but not many information are available on it’s gameplay elements or story. From the few concept arts that remain from this cancelled project, it seems that Justice was set in a distant future, inspired by Blade Runner.

Unseen Interview: Mr. Mark & Hoppin Mad

U64: Thanks for your time Mark! Would you like to introduce yourself to our readers? :)

Mark: Thanks for having me, it’s great to be able to share info with such a great group of people. My name is Mark and I’m 24 years old. I live with my twin brother just outside of Boston and I currently work as a 7th grade Science teacher.

U64: Can you tell us a little bit about the Hoppin Mad prototype and how you found it?

Vexx is a game developed by Acclaim for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube and released in 2003. Thanks to the Vexx Fan Club on Deviant Art we found some interesting infos and concept arts from it’s development : “Vexx wasn’t supposed to start like a single hero, it was supposed for the game to be a hero/sidekick thing, just like “Ratchet & Clank” or “Jak & Daxter”; their names were supposed to be “Clip & Mischief” then the previous idea was discarded and give space for the single hero idea, deducing that it was at that moment which appeared the idea of the hero with gloves, seeking for revenge. However, the main character had another name: “Jinx” or “Jinxed”.

Some unused / beta music from the game can be downloaded from here.
