Games that never got released (thankfully)

[Submeg]

That is extremely worrying....

I should perhaps point out that the game was released as a covermount on Amiga Power and it was probably more the magazine than the game that made the majority of the 45,000 buy it.

That is some better news. You had us worried there. I had visions of huge armies of kagool wearing, note book clutching, train spotters were slowly taking over.

Didn't Sensible also make Sim Brick?

An accurate brick simulator.

what is this world coming to?

Mad! Maybe they were trying to prove that they were far from Sensible!

I think they must have employed the guy that wrote Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

Was it a gold brick then? Wrapped in a slice of lemon?

Wikipedia lists it as the following:

Sim Brick is a parody of the popular Sim series of computer games. It was a computer game written in 1991 by Sensible Software and included with Amiga Power issue 13.[1]
The game is designed to simulate a brick. There are four options:

• Exist (if the brick does not already exist, it is called into existence)
• Info (displays a schematic of the brick)
• Pause (pauses the game)
• Quit (quits the game)

The game also features an ant, which always meets an untimely and bloody death when the brick is called into existence, because the brick always spawns in mid-air and crushes it.

Nice. I might have to give this a play.

Douglas Adams was a genius for sure. It's been too long since I read through all his books (a few months at least ).
