Developer Origin Systems featured a system where their developers could pitch game ideas to potentially have the company work on when they were looking to start new projects. Many were never announced until being outlined in a 2014 feature by Eurogamer documenting some of the standout abandoned ideas. One was a pitch for a Genesis version of 3D first-person action game called Citadel they were developing for PC platforms. The Genesis version was not pursued, while the PC version evolved into the 1994 release System Shock.[56]
