game, designed by Ray Tanzer and Jon Norris and released by Gottlieb
. The game is based on the film Stargate
, not the television show Stargate SG-1
. It has many modes, including several multi-ball modes.
A "pyramid" is the main feature of this game. It has a top that opens by raising and lowering. A moving "Glidercraft" ship will be extended from the pyramid when the pyramid is open. The "Glidercraft" will zigzag left-right, in front of the pyramid, with about 90 degrees of horizontal movement.
This game also features two "Horus" targets. These are basically the reverse of drop targets: they are targets that, rather than dropping down into the playfield when hit, rise up into the air. Each target is attached to a large "Horus" structure, which is itself attached to a pivot that can raise and lower. These Horus structures drop down to block the player from reaching two key shots. The game occasionally raises them, allowing the player to temporarily make the shots. Part of the development involved having actor James Spader

Stargate Trading Card Game (abbreviated as Stargate TCG) is a new trading card game based on the long-running Stargate
series. It released in both online and physical card formats in April 2007. The first set is to be based on Stargate SG-1
, though upcoming releases will add additional cards from SG-1 and incorporate Stargate Atlantis as well. The Stargate TCG is designed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by Comic Images.
The TCG pulls players into the Stargate universe as they put their favorite characters together to form a team and send them through the gate to accomplish missions. New gameplay lets characters "learn" from their accomplishments and mistakes to increase their capabilities. There are three different ways to possibly win: Earning experience points, collecting glyphs, or scoring Adversaries. By completing missions, players can play glyphs onto their characters which unlock abilities that could help them win the game.
The online version of the game is identical to the standard game and contains the same cards. However, being online it gives players the advantage of a more diverse group of opponents to play against at any time of day or night. Also, it includes an online deck builder and collection management system, making it easy to manage physical and virtual collections. There are also online tournaments with rewards of free cards and increased player rankings in worldwide standings. Finally, Sony Online has introduced a redemption program known as "Through the Gate". This allows players to collect the full set of digital cards, and then redeem them online for physical cards. The online game went live on April 27, 2007.
The first set of cards are based on Stargate SG-1
, and contains 292 cards. Starter decks feature Jack O'Neill
, Daniel Jackson, Samantha Carter
, and Teal'c
, and are fully playable, each containing sixty cards including four team character cards that are based on the heroes of the show. Booster packs each contain eleven additional cards, including characters, enemies, missions, weapons and other gear, as well as obstacles that players can use to enhance their deck. The set is made up of 66 Rare cards, 66 Uncommon cards, 100 Common cards, 6 Ultra-Rare cards, and 54 Starter-deck-only cards.
Released on August 16, 2007, the second set contains 292 cards and is based on the Goa'uld
System Lords. Set two focuses on expanding the villain aspect of Stargate TCG. Starter Decks feature Ba'al, Apophis, Osiris, and Yu. It introduced a new feature called Dominion and expandeded upon existing traits from the Stargate SG-1 set such as Russians, Tok'ra
, and NID. The set is made up of 66 Rare cards, 66 Uncommon cards, 100 Common cards, 6 Ultra-Rare cards, and 54 Starter-deck-only cards.

.
based on the Canadian-American television series Stargate SG-1
, in 1998 years before Alderac Entertainment Group
purchased the license to release a RPG based on the television show Stargate SG-1, West End Games
had the license. They hired John Tynes
, a very good gamesmith, to develop the property for them. WEG ran into financial difficulties, the company nearly collapsed, and the Stargate SG-1 project was cancelled. However, John Tynes had written about two-thirds of the game before the project was cancelled. After the cancellation and subsequent non-payment for his work, he placed what he had written on his website (http://johntynes.com/revland2000/rl_sg0.html).

Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game (2003) is a role-playing game based on the Canadian-American television series Stargate SG-1, released in 2003 by Alderac Entertainment Group. The game, based on AEG's Spycraft
, uses the d20 System

where the player controlled Jack O'Neil. This game was developed by Probe Entertainment Limited and published by Acclaim Entertainment
for Super Nintendo Entertainment System
and Mega Drive in 1995.
. Development was cancelled in August 2005, but the game was re announced in November 2011.
The game was said to have been based upon the events of the SG-1 seasons; the player was able to select their character for a mission and fulfill the roles of that character as seen in the TV show. It was confirmed that the Alliance part of the name referred to the Alliance between Anubis and the new enemy, Haaken. The Haaken have never appeared in the TV show, they are a new alien race that was created by the developer's concept artists and game designers. The game was an FPS
with an option for a third person perspective, consisting of objectives to be reached during various missions and levels. Since the developers have not shown much of the gameplay, it is not very clear how exactly the game was meant to play out. However, from the video from the Stargate Atlantis: Rising DVD, it appears to follow the storyline well.
According to IGN
, an "administrator posting in the game's official forum stating that the game has been cancelled". However, this has never been officially confirmed by the developer, Perception Studios
, despite forcing the majority of its staff into redundancy in January 2006.
After a two year long legal battle with JoWood Productions, Perception won their fight in December 2007 with JoWood admitting they had no rights to the Stargate franchise
. In fact, Perception has all rights to the Stargate SG-1: The Alliance game, and any further Stargate game releases. It is expected that work will now continue in some way on The Alliance, although existing parts of the already made game may not be used. Peter Deluise
was especially disappointed, having devoted much time to the game's development (albeit primarily the audio portion).
On November 30th, 2011, Irish gaming news site The Gaming Liberty released a short teaser for the game, and announced that their exclusive coverage would begin on December 11th, 2011.
