Lost Gremlins Game Was A Third Person Shooter

Children of the ’80s, do you remember those fuzzy creatures that can’t eat after midnight or get wet? Sunsoft made Gremlins video games back when, well, Gremlins was relevant.

In the early 2000s, French developer Neko Entertainment got the Gremlins license and was working on a PlayStation 2 game. The genre is a bit surprising, their Gremlins title was a squad style third person shooter. Players could switch between Gizmo and various green monster Gremlins with the should buttons. Why do the Gremlins have guns instead of paper-clip bow and matchstick arrows? Who knows.

The game was canceled, but a few assets leaked out. Here’s Gizmo rendered for the game’s opening video.
