CatDog: Saving Mean Bob was a canceled action video game based on the popular Nicktoon CatDog for the original PlayStation and PC.[1] Not much is known about it, other than the fact that Robert Lamoreaux worked on the game while he was also working on the PC game CatDog: Quest for the Golden Hydrant and that it would've been developed by KnowWare and published by Hasbro Interactive.[2]
It is unknown if anyone involved in the game's production owns a prototype or if the game was even completed, as no other information can be found about the game. The game was most likely canned after the sale of Hasbro interactive to the French company Infogrames in January 2001.
There is evidence that this game was somewhat far along in production as there was a Blockbuster page created for the game along with promotion in media like Billboard Magazine in February, 2000 and IGN owned PSX Nation in March, 1999.
