Amiga Games That Weren't: Fatal Mission
As the website "Games That Weren't" reports, "Fatal Mission" was an ambitious project started by Ola Zandelin and Robert Hennings in 1993: "a cinematic style adventure in the lines of Another World, but with bitmap graphics instead of vector style one". On his website, Ola Zandelin has published some examples of this. The website "AmigaPD" conducted an interview with the developer in 2013. In it, he suggests that the game was playable to a certain extent, but it was never finished because there was a lack of time and experience to put everything together and plan it properly.
