The Horde was a near-complete Super Nintendo port of the well-known 3DO action-strategy title developed by Ocean USA, and was slated for release in 1995.

Several Amstrad CPC titles have been flagged up that appear to be completely undocumented. The games were discovered among a batch of CPC tapes and feature homemade labels and inlays.
The titles are:
Lost Legacy
Captain Ralph’s Island
Haunted House Adventure / Pools Winner (double pack)
These were written by Steve Ralph, and checks on CPC Power and the CPC Wiki have so far drawn a blank, and while there is a brief mention on a French CPC site, no further information is known. One inlay is dated 1988, but there is no evidence of these titles appearing in contemporary magazines, and it’s unclear whether they were ever commercially released or simply created for personal use.
The tapes have now been secured and will be preserved and scanned in due course. If anyone has any information about these titles, their author, or their origins, please leave a comment below. Continue reading

Thanks to adverts that appeared in magazines back in the day, it is known that both PC and Amiga versions of Kevin Keegan’s Player Manager was planned. Sadly, only the Super Nintendo version would ever see release. But what of the PC and Amiga versions and how far did they get? Continue reading
Flash Gordon was a great budget title from Mastertronic, and one which I enjoyed a lot on the Commodore 64. One thing that stood out in particular was the amount of different styles of games present, but also the amazing music by Rob Hubbard. Continue reading
