'' Deathwatch '' was first showcased to the public at Atari Corporation 's booth during E3 1995 , featuring an artstyle similar to that of '' Plok '' , a platform title developed by Software Creations and released for the Super Nintendo two years prior , while French magazine '' CD Consoles '' referred it as '' SwitchDeath '' . It was listed for a December/Q4 1995 release in magazines , with internal documents from Atari Corp. also revealing that the game was internally known as '' The Bug '' . Though it was kept being advertised in catalogs and magazines for a late 1995 release , Atari halted its development before it was completed , with former DDI president and CEO Stewart Green stating in a 2003 forum post at AtariAge provided by community member panamajoe that the publisher 's marketing department wanted to focus on 3D titles instead of 2D ones , in addition of stating that the source code of the game has become lost with time . Atari would also stop production of other upcoming titles for the Jaguar before merging with JT Storage on April 1996 , ultimately resulting with the game not being released . Although a prototype cartridge is rumored to exist , no ROM image of the title has managed to surface online . The only known gameplay footage of the game that exists as of date was shown by Atari Explorer Online on the " AEO at E3 1995 " VHS release by Subspace Publishing
