Seeing as there are so many of us (not) here let's have a discussion.

What games were there that never made an official release for the DC
(and I mean were not released in any territory) that became 'available'?

That I can think of :

Half-Life - which was playable.
Propeller Arena (final beta)

aye, though i never got either working on my DC (i think all that
emulator play-time wore out the laser)

I got them both working. HL was okay but, given the long load times and
lack of mouse support, it was more of a curiosity and I'd never consider
playing it on that platform.

PA I only tried once. It was similar to Starfox DS, an arcade shooter
with mid-air hovering pickups. I didn't think much of it tbh.
