The main character used for the demo of Desert Island 64 (who is unnamed).

Status: Lost

Desert Island 64 (also known as Super Real Island was a simulation RPG that was to be developed by Imagineer and released on the now discontinued Nintendo 64 peripheral, the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive.

Gameplay

The gameplay of Desert Island 64 would have been about the main character (who is unnamed) surviving on a desert island, cultivating the land on the island, breeding and raising animals, and creating a new civilization on the island. It was described to have been a "mix of platform, survival, and life simulation."[1] The game was going to support all of the features that were included in the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive.

Desert Island 64 was going to be a really complex game, even to feature an evolution chain of the different forms of flora and fauna on the island, which the player could observe and interact with. The different forms of fauna that have been shown in the game through concept art and the demo included a flying insect type creature, a crab creature, an elephant-like creature, and a dog/llama hybrid-type creature.

Cancellation/Availability

Desert Island 64 was first shown to the public at Space World (formerly known as Shoshinkai) 1996. It was supposed to also be present at that years E3, but the game crept away from the public eye after its developer, Imagineer, encountered financial troubles and had to cancel Desert Island 64 and another title, Quest 64 II.[2] All that remains of the game online are a couple screenshots of the demo for the game, a couple pieces of concept art, and some 1998 articles from Nintendo Fun Vision, a German magazine focused on Nintendo consoles.
