Dastardly & Muttley - Operation: Pigeon Pursuit (lost build of unreleased PlayStation 2 video game; 2007-2008)
Dastardly & Muttley - Operation: Pigeon Pursuit is an unreleased PlayStation 2 video game based on the 1969 Hanna-Barbera animated series Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines. It was developed by Blast! Entertainment and scheduled for release in 2007, before being pushed to 2008 and eventually cancelled altogether.
The cover art was designed by cartoonist Patrick Owsley, who posted about the game on his blog.[1][2] He subsequently auctioned off the original art on eBay.[3] Cover colorist Jeff Victor also posted about it on his own blog.[4]
The game was listed on a number of websites, giving it a tentative release date of June 28th, 2007.[5][6][7] Blast! had the game listed on its website's "Coming Soon" section as late as January 2008,[8] but it had been removed as of May of the same year.[9]
No in-game screenshots or gameplay information has been released, and it is unknown how far into development the game was before its cancellation.
