Quicksilver II (Hydro Thunder hardware)
This prototype was never released, it was in development from 1999 to 2001.
Jack Haeger came up with the idea of creating a game based upon an old TV show called 'Rat Patrol', which idea was partially influenced by the success of the first Call of Duty PC title. The idea grew from there into what we see in RIP Squad, an on-rails shooter that gave the player a full 360° view of their surroundings.
Back in 2001, Midway made a decision to dump their long standing coin-op division in favor of focusing developments on console gaming. When that decision came down, there were still some arcade games floating around in the development cycle, which were subsequently canceled and were lost to the knowledge of the public.
