After watching ProtonJon's playthrough of Superman 64, I remembered some really nice games that were canned. (Both of these Jon mentioned at the beginning of his Superman 64 videos). (You might also see a trend here regarding the aforementioned games.)

The first Being Sunman, an Nes game that was being developed featuring a super hero by the name of Sunman who protected Megalo City from the reaches of Spectre by using his Optic Beams, amazing strength, and flying ability. If you think this sounds familar to another hero, than you are right. Sunman was originally supposed to be a Superman game. For reasons unknown nobody know why the game was changed from a Superman game to something else or why it was never released. You can read more about it and see some gameplay in the spoiler below.

The second was a Playstation counterpart of Superman 64. However, unlike it's 64 counterpart, it would've not taken place in a virtual world but the real world. The game was more focused on puzzles and exploration instead of beating a specific goal and then flying through a ring stage. You would have all of Supe's powers from the start and and would feature items from the animated cartoon. This was being developed by Blue Sky Software (the company that developed the Vectorman games.) who originally were planing to port Superman 64 to the Playstaion but due to negative reviews, they scrapped that idea and instead try to develop this game instead. The game was almost completed but due to not losing the rights to Superman, arguments between Titus and Warner Brothers, and negative reviews, the game was canned. Gameplay footage in the spoiler below.

The last game I'm going to mention is the beta for Superman 64. Why am I mentioning the beta for this "game"? The reason being that the beta was a lot different from the actual game. I can't really explain it well, so I'll let the footage show you the differences between both versions.
