Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Geoff Crammond, developer of Stunt Car Racer and the Formula One Grand Prix franchise, is listed among the interviews in an upcoming documentary on the Commodore Amiga 500. The documentary, created by Nicola Caulfield & Anthony Caulfield, will potentially use a lot of filmed but previously un-seen footage from the From Bedrooms to Billions documentaries of which you can see a segment below.
