Eh...I don't think 4 years qualifies as vaporware. They set the bar too low to enable a larger spread of games to list.
Prey and DNF, sure.

True- but from the titles selected I think they went sureshot for mass-market ones.
Kind of makes sense.

Yeah, 7 years certainly qualifies. That thing was definitely scrapped once and restarted, maybe twice, I forget.

Excellent pick! I had totally forgotten about that one until you mentioned it.

I am surprised Storm of War/ Cliffs of Dover is not high on the list.

The Jedi Master Yeah, 4 years feels like a stretch.

Fighterops...
The only TRUE Stealth crowd funded game.
Devs said there was stuff there, but you just couldn't see it.

I think All American: 82st Airborne in Normandy has to take the cake. It's the sequel to 101st Airborne in Normandy, a PC game from the mid 90s. It was slated to be released in 1997 but is still "in development" and the producer is still taking pre-orders for $54.95. Look at the minimum specs! General minimum requirements: Pentium II 300 MHz 32 MB RAM Minimum 250 MB hard drive space required 6X CDROM Windows 95 or better Windows compatible sound card http://www.shrapnelgames.com/Shrapnel_Games/AA/AA_page.html

Er...I guess that developer's building is caught in some kind of space/time bubble where the year is 1999?

I don't know, 250MB is pretty steep storage wise.
