Limbo of the Lost is point-and-click adventure game developed by Majestic Studios. The project reportedly started development in early 1990s, with initial demo being planned for Atari ST. The project was scrapped and started from beginning this time for Amiga 500, to be later ported to Amiga 1200 and Amiga CD32. That project also was ultimately scrapped and started anew in 2003 with target platform being PC. It is infamous due to its poor quality and excessive plagiarism of in-game backgrounds and other content.
The game was released in 2007 to overwhelmingly negative reviews and was later pulled from sales, when in June 2008 evidence started racking up about the game using many assets that were lifted from multiple games, including Diablo II, Enclave, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Thief: Deadly Shadows and others.
Following the lawsuit, the game remains unavailable for purchase.
