Several of Ocean France's Amiga ports of arcade games never saw the light of day, despite being nearly finished, due to Ocean being unable to secure the licences. Games such as Snow Bros and Liquid Kids have been released on the net in the 2000s, while a working copy of Hammerin' Harry is yet to show up.
