SimCopter 64 playable build found more than 20 years after cancellation

SimCopter debuted in 1996 for PC, but some may be unaware that an N64 version (for the 64DD) was in the works at one point – aptly titled SimCopter 64. The game was even shown off for Nintendo’s older console at E3 1997, though it ultimately never saw the light of day. Fans apparently weren’t impressed with the graphics, and after some consideration was given to a Japan-only launch, the port was cancelled entirely.
It’s been well over twenty years, but amazingly enough, a playable build has been found of SimCopter 64. Reddit user a707northbayer made the discovery and says he picked it up from someone who worked in the game industry. This person sold and traded him dev systems in addition to a few games like this one.

It’s a trip down memory lane! Maxis was developing SimCopter 64 – a remake of the original SimCopter – for the Nintendo 64DD. It was cancelled in 1999.
SimCopter 64 wasn’t meant to be, but Unseen64 published a short off-screen video today taken at E3 1997. You can watch it above.
