Whatever happened to all the work that went into Stargate SG-1: The Alliance? Perception Studios acquired the license for a Stargate video game and made great headway in its development before the whole thing fell apart circa 2006. But a few copies of the unfinished beta are in circulation.
The folks at Past to Present Online have been playing through the game and posting videos of the experience, giving Stargate fans a firsthand look at the game that didn’t quite make it to market. A couple of segments are embedded below.
Note that this was a few years before Stargate Worlds, another ambitious project that did not reach completion.
The game was to be released for the PC, PlayStation 2, and the original Xbox.
Again, the game was unfinished, so in addition to fairly low-resolution models you’ll notice some missing items and effects (like the desk of computers in the S.G.C. Control Room, and the zat gun’s energy discharge).
Read more about the game in GateWorld’s Video Games section, and find more at Past to Present Online!
UPDATE: The videos have been pulled. See the comments thread below.
UPDATE 2: The videos have been replaced below with higher-quality versions from the PC build of the game. Thanks again to the guys at Past to Present! (We’ve also added the previously released 3-minute trailer for the game, below.)

hmmmm.... Hammond is still around despite Teal'c having hair, this must be the Universe with the "invisible O'Neill" scene :P
How old is this game? Or is it fanmade?
Noldor: It was made by an Australian game studio under license from MGM, and ceased production in late 2005.
Darren: It might help to read the article before i wrote a comment. :) Too bad they didnt finish it..
I would love to see a Stargate game made in a same way as Mass Effect (hint for TPTB and BioWare). It could be a great way to complete and add up to unfinished sagas of Atlantis, and dare I say it, Universe. And it may also be easier to get the original cast to do voice acting for a couple of days than to do movies...
@tikarjal I totally agree. im about half way through mass effect 2. It reminds me alot of Sg. especially illium( looks alot like atlantis). one of the best games ive ever played (besides fallout 3). I would love it if they made a Sg game. there is so much potential there. Is there any way to buy the beta of this game it looks awesome. very good graphics for a ps2 game.
Another review site got this game and are putting videos out of it? Jeez, how do I get a copy of it? I'm so freaking jealous even if the game is unfinished and rough in a lot of areas.
Jedi- the story to the game is that Jack is forced back into the field by the President.
Ben - I'm not a review site. I search for this sort of game to preserve them, The Alliance isn't the first game, and it certainly won't be the last :P
YES hopefully this will spur some more interest in a fully-fledged stargate game one day.
I made a clip a few years ago showing off the SG weapons from a fan-made stargate mod: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywMlx56La2o
Sorry guys, had to pull the footage out of respect for the developers. Newer, more complete footage coming soon though!
