GunBeat was an action/racing game created by Treasure
for the Sega NAOMI arcade hardware in 1999. It was location-tested publicly, but canceled before its release. A few videos and images remain the only reliable sources of information about the game.
The game, which would have been Treasure's first fully 3D title, appeared to have players race each other around circuitous tracks riding mounts, including a giant hamster. The game had action and combat elements, as well.
Production was terminated when the lead programmer left the company. This programmer has not been identified by name. Treasure was not initially pleased with game's progress and chose to end the project rather than attempt to replace the project leader.
