Pointing and laughing.
After the great Master of Orion, its sequel and the amazing Master of Magic dev SimTex was working on a turn based mech game which looked absolutely awesome. You were a noble in an intergalactic imperium who was struggling to become the ruler of his house and ultimately the empire. Doing this through missions, warfare, colonisation and political moves. The game entered development hell when FASA sued them for percieved copyright infringement and was later scrapped altogether when Microprose entered its dying thralls. What really saddens me though is how close to completion the game was when it was cancelled and how great the game looked. There is nowadays hardly any info to be found on this great looking game which is a little surprising for me considering how well-loved the other SimTex offerings are to this day and how many magazines wrote of it during its development. Consider my surprise when I found this youtube movie of a preview of it. Looking as cool as ever.
