Cancelled Versions

Both PlayStation and Sega Saturn ports of QAD: Quintessential Art of Destruction were in development. Due to the system's comparitive lack of power, the Saturn port was scrapped quickly.

Development of the PlayStation version also proved difficult; the graphics engine and art assets had to be completely redone.

The new graphics were shown to Philips Interactive, who did not like the end result and cancelled the port.
