The Games That Can't Be Found Anywhere Thread

[Raging Justice]

I thought it'd be interesting to have a thread dedicated to games that have maybe been removed or de-listed from digital store fronts and now can no longer be found anywhere except maybe on pirate websites. Off the top of my head there was a PS3 game called Revenge of the Wounded Dragons that got de-listed from PSN and basically no longer exists for anyone who didn't buy it when it was available.

Another one is Friday The 13th: Killer Puzzle. It got de-listed everywhere due to some licensing issue I believe. To my knowledge, the Switch version isn't even available on pirate websites.

I wonder how many games got lost for ever when the Xbox Live Indie section got shut down some years ago.

I would love to play Double Dragon for the Zeebo:

Ross Scott: Games as a service is Fraud
Ross's Dead Game News

Sad state of things. Ross is currently looking into ways of legally combatting the fact that your physical disc/cart will stop being able to be played, and it's grey-area-illegal in most cases to try to circumvent this and keep playing a product you purchased.

In brighter news, There's a few that have been brought back from the dead:
Original Xbox Live
Sonic Runners (Mobile)
Castlevania: Harmony of Despair - PC Unity port
City of Heroes fan servers given official Licence
Delisted -> Relisted

Glad I can finally play Scott Pilgrim vs. the World The Game on new systems. It was mostly the only reason I had my 360 and PS3 connected to a TV.

Feel free to PM me if you need help finding a lost resource that you'd rather not publicly ask.

...I'm still kicking myself for missing Afterburner Climax, I've never been a real fan of the series but that one entry looked really cool. Also, it's great to see that CoH/CoV is back up and running, even w/an official blessing.

I regret not getting the Steven Universe games for Switch, especially now since only Save the Light had a physical release. I'm now hoping Unleash the Light is available on a foreign eShop that I can make an account on.

So those 3 WiiWare Konami titles come to mind; Castlevania Rebirth, Contra Rebirth Gradius Rebirth.

Also, I've never played the mobile Doom RPG. Always interested me.

Portmaster put out ports of the two DOOM RPG games, and IIRC Wolfenstein RPG might be in the card.

But those were reverse engineering works vs something to purchase, correct?

Would be awesome if Id/Bethesda had them available to buy and play on modern platforms... in tiny letterbox
