Not enough of d20 Spectaculars was finished for it to ever be released. Now, 19 years later, I *could* 're'create it from scratch without being concerned I was using any of the words WotC paid me for.
But Evil Genius Games' doing a "Spectacular Heroes' game seems more likely to actually happen.
I may be the only one, but I was super jazzed about the game. I remember checking in at the game store where I bought my stuff to the point where I was sure I annoyed the owner. I'm a big fan of your work and imagine it would have been fun to play.
Interesting on the WTotC product. I always envisioned in 2E AD&D, you could make your own superhero with the add-on books.
Back in the late 80s and early 90s, they covered so many aspects of role playing with Shadowrun, AD&D. Plus if you knew the rule sets you could really turn anything into a d20 game.
Don't think I didn't make a convention adventure where Captain America was a multi-classed Paladin/Monk and the Hulk was a Barbarian because I did. Kits, the later player option books, and more made it easy.
That Proton Fire cover gives me some major Crossfire vibes (that 90s ball shooting game with a killer commercial jingle). It’s a shame it never saw the light of day.
I am still waiting (I know it is hopeless!) for the DM guide for Lamentations of the Flame Princess! I don't even remember how many years have passed since the kickstart... the painful point is that the text is there and content-wise I am looking forward to reading it without any interest on the layout... too bad!
Modern Knights is an early narrative game from the very early 00s and never saw a lot of support. Plaid Rabbit release a couple of other games like Pocket Warrior, but it was very much a DIY effort. I don't know that I'd be as hard on the game as the DTRPG reviewers, but it is a very different game. Maybe I'll break open my copy and give it a run through to evaluate in a future post and maybe a video.
Really want to see spectaculars, I loved d20 modem back in the day

It would have been fun... though I suspect I'm make a better game now than I would have 20 years ago. :)

Would to have loved to see Reich Star, Elfpunk, and Bugtown
