Arena AD

Arena AD is a cancelled PC game by Stainless Games Ltd. It was to be a realistic gladiator fighting game.

Gameplay
Arena AD had the earmarks of a fighting game with RPG elements. As you slay opponents you can buy new weapons and gain new skills. There was to be 18 different fighters and a limb-based control scheme.



Cancellation
Arena AD was cancelled when SCi Games stopped paying Stainless Games. The final nail in the coffin was in 1999 when Stainless Games was absorbed by VIS Entertainment. It doesn't help that the similarly-titled game Quake III Arena was released around this time.
