Franchise: Final Fantasy

Attachment In the 1990's, Disney was planning on doing a four issue comic based off of the Final Fantasy series. Most of the cover work was done by Mike Mignola (creator of the Hellboy comics). Only two covers for the proposed comic were drawn. Kurt Busiek, who wrote the comic, explained a bit about working on the comic:

"I didn't actually pitch for the project. I was asked to write it by the editor, either because he liked my work or because I was in the same state as the Square offices or both. So I visited the offices, they loaned me a bunch of stuff, I played the game and wrote up an outline.

It was after that that they told me they liked my outline but they were working on the new iteration of the game, so could I retool that story to be about that? They sent lots of reference on the new game, and there was just no way to do the first outline with characters from the new game, so they paid me a kill fee for the outline and I started from scratch with the new story outline.

The comic was quietly cancelled in 1993 when Disney's Hollywood Comic studio closed its doors.

Liyla and The Shadows of War was originally rejected for iOS devices because Apple didn't think the app's strong political themes would be appropriate in the "Games" category. Apple then suggested that developer Rasheed Abueideh re-categorize the game as a "News" or "Reference" app. Apple rescinded this decision a week later after a public outcry, and the game is now available on iOS devices under the "Games" category.

Cloak & Dagger
Cloak & Dagger (1983)
▲

▼
Cloak & Dagger started out as a game called "Agent X". When Atari and the producers of the film Cloak & Dagger learned of each other's projects, they cooperated and the game became a critical part of the film. Dabney Coleman's character in the film, Jack Flack/Agent X, was named as a part of this collaboration.

The game saw a limited arcade release, and a conversion kit was used on various Williams' arcade cabinets to change them to Cloak & Dagger cabinets. The Cloak & Dagger game screens from the movie are mostly from this arcade version, and not the Atari 5200 game console as it would appear in the film. An Atari 5200 version of the game was actually in development, but was never completed due to the gaming crash of 1983. The cartridges in the film are simply other Atari 5200 games with a Cloak & Dagger label on them.

Because the game is themed around musical-style theater, three types of songs were originally considered for the game's opening number. The first was based on the concept of the "I Want Song", a type of song in musical theater involving the characters singing about the key motivating desire that will propel everyone (including the audience) through the remainder of the show. The second song involved the characters singing what they would do if they were in the same place together. The third type of song that was actually used in the game involves the characters singing about the game in a narrative-style chorus.

Attachment Several stage elements as well entire stages themselves were cut completely from the final game. For example, Mike Haggar from the Final Fight series was going to appear on Karin's stage via an elevator that would automatically go up and down, but was cut for being "too random". An example of a stage being cut completely was a military base that contained huge robots and aliens, which was removed for having little to no relation with the storyline.
