Tidejackers, also know as “Tide Jackers” was a first person shooter that was in development at Computer Artworks Ltd / Sales Curve Interactive, for PS2, XBOX and PC. The project was cancelled when the company was closed down.
Developed by Horny Dog and published by Jester Interactive, Hellgate was going to be a third person shooter for the Dreamcast, where to kill demons and going around for the levels with a motorcycle. Sadly the game was cancelled, as we can read on the old Horny Dog website: “The Sega announcement that they were ceasing production of Dreamcast hardware wasn’t much of a help, as well as the fact one or two members of our team didn’t have the game’s best interest at heart. […] We had spent 15 months developing the title, and although many of us felt we achieved so much, it wasn’t enough to save the title.”
Our friends at SuperiorVersion have found some nice screens from this project, you can check them all in here. A video from the intro of the game was later found by Dreamcast.es!
From the old developers website we can still read some interesting informations about the game:
magine a crossover between Quake and WipeOut. Got that image? Hellgate meshes these two genres, with high speed at your fingertips, as well as some meaty weaponry! There will be four gigantic realms to conquer, as well as ten formidable weapons to defeat the many demons and monsters lurking within Hell.
We will also be supporting Dreamcast’s online capabilities with online Deathmatch, Capture The Flag, Sumo and Time Trial modes, and also feature offline 4 player Deathmatch and link-up Deathmatch modes. The exciting thing is, Hellgate could well be the first Dreamcast game to support 12 – yes – 12 people.

Disaster Report (known as SOS: The Final Escape in Europe, Zettai Zetsumei Toshi in Japan) is a survival action adventure game created by Irem. It was released in Japan for the PlayStation 2 in 2002 and in 2003 was released in North America and Europe. The game deals with the characters’ survival and escape from the slow collapse of an artificial island. While dodging falling buildings and debris from periodic earthquakes, the player must find a way off the island. In addition, the main character, a reporter, must investigate the reasons for the disaster. [Infos from Wikipedia]
When they ported the game for the US and PAL market, they decided to change the hair color for the main protagonists: from the natural dark brown hairs to a weird blonde / yellow tint. This was probably done to make the game to appeal more to the western audience, but we can only wonder if the game really did sell better just because of yellow hairs. Even other characters, as the Editor-in -chief journalist and the young girl, had some hair changes: the journalist had black hair / beard in the original version, but white in the USA / PAL one, while the girl have more “orange” hairs in the western release instead of brown.
