    Cancelled in what region? That's the most important question really.

    A lot of the bolded games have been released, some only in Europe, others just in Japan... And yes, some of them were cancelled or had their development moved to Dreamcast / PS2.

    There was going to be a dungeon keeper 2 port? I shudder to think how poorly that would have controlled.

    I found this for Lander:



    And some bits from Wikipedia article:

    Lander is an action shooter game developed in-house at the Manchester office of Psygnosis. It was released for Microsoft Windows in Spring 1999 and published under the Psygnosis label shortly before the Manchester office was closed and the Psygnosis label was fully absorbed into Sony. Lander was inspired by the classic game Thrust(and to a lesser extent Lunar Lander), and featured similar gameplay of controlling a ship with realistic thrust and inertia, but with a new 3D game environment. Critically, the game was badly received by most critics, but had occasional highly positive reviews by those who had found the control system to be rewarding rather than frustrating.

    Lander was the first Psygnosis game to be released on the DVD format, making it the first game in the UK to come out on the new medium[SUP][citation needed][/SUP]. The game's soundtrack, consisting of 12 audio tracks, was released in 5.1 surround sound.
    An R.I.P. note and well-wishings from the development team to the rest of the closed studio can be found in the credits at the end of the demo, in the full game's credits FMV sequence and in the 'credits' option from the main menu.

    Black & White on PS and DC. But i really -really- doubt that both supposedly-ingame videos are real, they show almost the highest graphics on PC, too fake for me.
