Marvel 2099: One Nation Under Doom (video game)
Encyclopedia
Marvel 2099: One Nation Under Doom was a cancelled game for the PlayStation
developed by Mindscape Inc. It was to be loosely based
on the "One Nation Under Doom" storyline in Marvel's Doom 2099
comic.
It was envisioned as a 2D side-scroller with 3D rendered characters .
In February 1996, Mindscape announced they would produce a video game based on the Marvel 2099
universe. Promoted as one of their top five games for the year, the game would be released on December 1, 1996, just in time for the Christmas rush. Available in CD-ROM format, two versions were announced: PlayStation
and Windows 95
.
By May 1996, CD-ROM and VHS video demos were being shipped to game magazines for pre-release reviews, along with a one-page color brochure. The first public demo was shown at the E3 show, and featured a playable single level of the Punisher 2099 fighting SHIELD troops, and also opening menus and some cut scenes. Electronic Gaming Monthly had two quarter-page previews of the game, showing grainy shots of actual gameplay, and a group shot of the player characters. At the 1996 San Diego Comicon, the Mindscape booth handed out brochures, and raffled off One Nation Under Doom pins, shirts, and posters. Some attendees were even allowed to play the demo at the booth, although no copies of the demo were distributed. About this same time, 3D Design magazine did a cover story on the Marvel 2099
game. After July, due to financial troubles, ongoing production of the game slowed down, and eventually stopped, though the game was never officially canceled.
