Vermin
Platform: PlayStation
Publisher: Eidos
Developer: Kronos

The Basics

The name should have told you something. Eidos Interactive's Vermin! was first announced at E3 in 1998. You were cast in the role of vermin, which would have had you burrowing through decaying human flesh. Essentially, you were in an "alternate" future, where modern medicine and science never developed, and you would have chosen from three different vermin types to invade decomposing hosts. Dr. Cautious, as the one man trying to stop vermin, with things like inoculations, was to be your enemy.

Essentially the game would have been a Dig Dug-like platform game with some shooting (with a stun ray), resource management, and exploration of dying flesh.

WHAT HAPPENED?
Eidos confirmed that Kronos' Vermin (a game best likened to an apocalyptic 3D version of Dig Dug) has been canceled for the PlayStation without further explanation.
