I haven't heard back from the guy yet. I'll definitely post here when/if I do. There's no guarantee as he may not even have a way to run it.

No one I've talked to has a back of Woody Woodpecker Racing. I know a dev with a backup of Renegade Racers but he has it in storage and is out of the country at the moment.
Got some dynamite info on Legend of the Blademasters! The game was 100% complete but was cancelled because the publisher (Ripcord) went bust. This is a developing story while I try and contact more of the devs...
I am sure I am remembering the story slightly wrong, but Ripcord Games told us that any game that's not already in boxes is to be canceled. So, we had the final copy on disk ready to be delivered to the publisher, but that didn't meet their line in the sand.

"Hype: The Time Quest" was developed by Ubisoft (Montreal). I guess this task would be impossible - if any code was ever written. Ubisoft have a strict policy. The console ports were released a few month after the official end of the Dreamcast. But Ubisoft kept releasing games after that, at least in Europe with some help from BigBen Interactive...
Got some amazing news regarding Legend of the Blademasters! I've recently been speaking with the founder of Ronin Entertaiment, and he confirmed that he still has the Dreamcast build and source code! Not only that, but talks are currently underway to release the game as a Dreamcast indie title! I suggested the idea and he seems very into it. I've gotten him in contact with WAVE Game Studios so hopefully the ball will start rolling on this soon.
This would be the first time in history that a cancelled Dreamcast game was released in physical form 20+ years later. I'm very excited for this!
Oh and the icing on the cake is that the game has an online multiplayer mode as well! It's a skirmish mode where players compete to collect loot. There were originally plans for other online modes including 2-player co-op but sadly they were scrapped when Sega announced the Dreamcast's discontinuation.
Ok, wow - this is truly amazing! As soon as anything is up for sale or pre-order or fundraise or download you can count me in. I had so much interest in Blade Master back in the days. Maybe it will finally come true!
fantastic in good time hopefully this encourages more canceled titles to come out and another thing about the game indiana jones and the infernal machine haven't they told you anything new?
and sorry for asking you what happens is that I am interested in that game and thanks to you for informing us about these canceled games, I really appreciate it.
So I recently read the Dreamcast Junkyard article on Title Defense and decided to do some digging. Managed to get in contact with a dev who requested to remain anonymous. Sadly it seems the "game" was never really a game at all, it was a PC tech demo that was shopped around to various publishers, none of whom were willing to take the risk on it. I sent all the info to Tom so he'll probably include a lot of it in a follow-up.
Here's a screenshot the dev sent me which has never been released. It's from a later build than any of the ones that are currently out there. It definitely looks more polished here.
