by : Alexandria Inc.(developer), TekMagic (publisher)
A video game adaption of the Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner cartoon series. The game experienced development issues over the game design and concept. Franchise owners Warner Bros. deemed that, in line with the cartoon series, that Wile E. Coyote chases Road Runner, but never succeeds in catching him. This presented a conceptual problem; if the player played as Wile E Coyote, they wouldn't be forced to create gameplay where the player could never win, and if the player played as the Road Runner, they'd need to create gameplay where the player could never lose. Ultimately, the long development time, coupled with the publisher's financial troubles, lead to its cancellation.[240]
