Black ICE / White Noise

Black ICE\White Noise is a cancelled Atari Jaguar CD game by Kelp Entertainment. It is also known as Chaos Agenda.

Plot
The game takes place in a futuristic San Francisco. You would play as a cyberpunk, who can either fight crime or engage in crime. There were three characters to play as: a hacker, a mercenary ninja, and an alcoholic.

Gameplay
The game was to play like a 3D Grand Theft Auto game. A sandbox game with hacking and piloting hover cars.

One element of the game was the 'C-Space', or cyberspace. Hacking a la System Shock would allow you to erase your criminal history, or unlock things.

Black ICE\White Noise was touted as a fighting game. There were plans for a six-button controller peripheral to help with those scenes.

Atari was keen on the idea and spent a lot of money and effort getting it done. This game was supposed to be the Jaguar's mascot game; their own Mario or Sonic.



Cancellation
The game was cancelled when the Jaguar under-performed and Atari filed for bankruptcy.

Prototypes
In 2002 some builds of the game, as well as the soundtrack, were made available. https://hiddenpalace.org/Black_Ice_/_White_Noise_(Prototype) https://archive.org/details/blackicewhitenoiserev18
