While SEGA fans are likely familiar with the company’s arcade hit Galaxy Force, developer Tengen once had a game in development with a very similar name: Galactic Force. Despite being nearly complete, it would ultimately be cancelled. This episode of Game Saves looks at the game’s development timeline, from a very early test build to a version that is nearly finished, complete with a new name.

Game builds aren't everything. Art files can reveal a ton about game development, but the software to view the files isn't always available. Atari created the RAD file format in the late 1980s/early 1990s, and pulling back the curtain revealed more than I expected, including new details for an unreleased fighting game.

While the Laserdisc format never truly took off in the gaming sphere, it wasn't for a lack of trying. One project, developed by Atari for arcades, used a miniature theme park to serve as its setting, but the title would never be released. Find out more about the Playland project in my latest video for The Strong Museum.

Some more unseen screenshots: These are early engine tests for the Bombdog engine, which was planned to be used for Silent Hill Origins (released Nov 2007) and Oblivion PSP (cancelled in June 2007), from February 2006. Super, super early stuff. twitter.com/Borman18/status/1470571416336621576

Game preservation is hard! It's not always on magnetic media or cartridges, either. In this case, what does it take to preserve a reel of film, one that you need to interact with? Check out my latest video blog at the museum!
