UPDATE: Activision deleted the original mirror.
ORIGINAL: We’re in 1998, far from the existence of World of Warcraft – Blizzard throws an almost complete game away.
Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans was meant to be a cartoonish looking point-and-click adventure game, and Blizzard was almost complete with the development on it. Instead of going gold and into stores, the game got canceled. It popped up on a Russian site, though…
The Russian relationship is somewhat logical: Blizzard assigned Animation Magic for the animation work, and this company had a subsidiary in St. Petersburg. (A bit of trivia: Animation Magic was responsible for the infamous Philips CD-i games of The Legend of Zelda: The Faces of Evil, and The Wand of Gamelon…)
While we have to point out that the game in this form is illegal, we still believe that you should know about a piece of the forgotten history of Warcraft with a „what if?” scenario. If you’re interested in the game, click here.
