TUNNEL B1
VARIOUS, 1996
Tunnel B1’s developer, Neon Software, initially approached Ocean with the idea of a complex helicopter/hovercraft hybrid game. The publisher split the concept into two, and while the helicopter section failed to see the light of day, this fast-paced hovercraft game was released in 1996 to an enthusiastic reception, especially regarding its outstanding visuals. As a tech demo for the Sony PlayStation and Sega Saturn, Tunnel B1 is an excellent example of what the new 32-bit consoles were capable of, amply making up for what it lacked in gameplay depth.
