Ring: The Legend of the Nibelungen is an unreleased Dreamcast game, ported from the PC. Developed by Arxel Tribe and produced by Cryo Interactive Entertainment, it is a pseudo-3D adventure game relying mainly on pre-rendered settings and reminiscent in gameplay style to Cryo's own Atlantis: The Lost Tales, as it uses a later version of the same Omni3D engine.
Success released the original PC version in Japan as Nibelungen no Yubiwa (ニーベルングの指輪) and they intended to release it too for the Japanese Dreamcast [5], but those plans failed to materialize after several delays. No trace of a western release of the cancelled Dreamcast version was ever officially announced until an English language prototype of the Dreamcast version, dated 1999-09-09, was found and leaked. It seems to be fairly late in development, though only the first two discs (of three) have been preserved so far.
