Initially announced way back in 2002, the game had a tumultuous development with a series of delays, various developers taking a shot at it, and other issues.

What seemed like it would fade into the gaming abyss with thousands of other unfinished titles has now resurfaced and, at least to some degree, in playable form.

After initially hearing about the rare Nintendo PlayStation auction, we suggested that it could sell for over a million dollars. While it has yet to go that far, the listing is well over a third of the way there with 20-days left until the final bid seals the deal.

Among the list of interested buyers is Palmer Luckey who is known as the founder Oculus VR.
