2006 Rockpool Games / So Games
Platform: Mobile J2ME
A short entry for a Java Platform mobile de-make of Glover, the 1998 puzzle platformer game originally by Interactive Studios. The J2ME version was to be a 2D-based version of the game, trying to cover as much of the original as it possibly could.
In 2024, ex-Ocean Software artist Bill Harbison provided Games That Weren’t with a series of early graphical assets, including some tile sets, sprite sheets and map screens showing how the game would have looked.
It isn’t clear if the actual development was started, and if it got any further than these initial assets. Due to the amount of work gone into the tiling, we believe it at least got under way in some shape or form. Hopefully we’ll get to learn more from Bill soon and if there might be something playable out there to some day recover.
If you know anything more about the game, then please do get in touch!
With thanks to Bill Harbison for providing the mock-up graphics to include on the site.
