So there I am. Bored, sitting on my ass, doing nothing of any importance when suddenly a phrase flew into my mind: Ozzy's Black Skies.
That's right! I remember the posters and all the adds that were passed out at Ozzfest 2000 and all the major hype for the upcoming Ozzy marketing craze (a little before their show took off) The games
IGN page clarifies that this title jumped from the originally planned PS2 release, to the more cost effective PC platform. Ultimately it's fate was
CANCELLATION, but the page has the sales pitch still intact and a few shoddy screens of what appear to be an assured failure. The page says, "Take to the unfriendly skies with OZZY’S BLACK SKIES for the PC. Loosely based on the music of heavy metal pioneer Ozzy Osbourne, you’ll find yourself in the middle of a bitter power struggle for control of Fraewyn. Choose your flying beast and get ready for intense dogfights like you’ve never seen before. With unique weapons, several different campaigns, and the musical styling of Ozzy Osbourne, OZZY’S BLACK SKIES will take you to new heights."
So you play as a dragon and fight other dragons,
flying eyeballs
and... vikings? That's pretty epic.
It's like
Lair, but with regular working controls and more epic apparently.
Also a similar fate befell Metallica: The Game witch apparently has
only a video to prove it once existed. Oh well, I guess they all took a long, hard look at Revolution X and KISS: Psycho Circus, and decided that it was nothing but a waste of cash.
Bummer isn't it. Such potential. The greatest minds of widespread appeal metal could easily come up with some badass ideas that could make a great game.
Well maybe not.
Also, new avatar is the ever infamous Dogwelder.
Also, 1 AM clog idea ftw
Also, cocks
that's weird, i thought that ozzy came out with a game where you take bats and have your way with them... huh, strange.
Didn't this game eventually turn into Savage Skies?
It seem similar (except for the lack of Ozzy).
It was ok.
Maybe this dragon game never got off the ground because Ozzy's metal is too heavy.
Ba-dum-bum-ching!
Also, it looks more inspired than Lair.
Prolly better than lair
