Polymega Gameplays - Judgement Force (Prototype) [SEGA Saturn - Extended Set - PAL]
Judgement Force was another one of the Eidos games that had a planned Saturn release, but never came to be. Core Design initially planned this game as a continuation of the Streets of Rage saga, for which they would also take advantage of the engine they created for Tomb Raider. The game was then called Streets of Rage 3D and was introduced to Sega in an almost finished state of development.
However, Sega did not want a sequel to the SoR franchise in 3D at the moment (or at least that's the rumour), so Core Design changed the title to Judgement Force, and it's under this name that a rolling demo was released for the major videogame magazines (and even announced as "coming soon"). You can find the rolling demo in the aptly named "Core Demo Disc", which also featured playable demos for Tomb Raider, Swagman (a PAL exclusive) and BLaM: Machine Head.
Still, despite all these changes, no Saturn version saw the light, and the game was ultimately released as Fighting Force for the Playstation and PC.
This was undoubtedly a major blow between the Sega-Core relationships, and it could be argued that it was for this reason that the Sega Saturn did not have its own version of Tomb Raider II.
