Preserving Cancelled & Unreleased Video Game History Since 1999
We are a Cancelled & Unreleased Video games archive with prototypes, developer history and assets for many computers and consoles of all ages. A non-profit large archive dedicated to preserving lost games that were never released to the public. Sharing history and stories from the developers, assets and more before it is too late. GTW has been preserving lost video game history online since 1999, and long before that offline.
Please Browse our archive and discover the many entries that we host for many different platforms.
Vinny Mainolfi of C64 Endings has very kindly compiled a downloadable archive of all the current GTW64 downloads. This is in a friendly format which you can copy to your 1541 Ultimate or similar device to be able to browse and load as you wish.

It seems that there have been issues for some time with our contact form on the GTW site, with emails not getting sent for at least a few months. This is likely due to security updates on the hosting we are on, which we were unaware of. Things are now working again thankfully!
If you have sent any information to us via the contact form, and have not had a response – this is why i’m afraid. Our apologies to those who have therefore not had a response, and we ask if you could contact us again if you did have any information to submit!
Many thanks!

Michael Ware has very kindly recovered all the sources and demos for a early production of Biff that was cancelled. Interestingly it was also developed in 1989 for Zeit Productions – suggesting that Biff was originally meant to be for another company and not Beyond Belief!

China Miner V1, Honest Joe, Mutant Fortress, Ninja Eggs
Crystal Castles V1, Flubble And Squij, Lost Caves, Nigel Mansell F1 Racing, Player Manager
Some years ago I was talking on the Lemon 64 of a strange recollection of a rather different looking version of the C64 Wonderboy. I had the budget edition of the game, which I played to death – but also later picked up the game on a Beau Jolly 30 pack of games. The recollection was of a rather expanded looking main sprite (where as the version I originally played had two sprites bolted together).
Mostly thanks to some excellent contributions from Kurt Woloch, here are some updates for a number of Atarisoft games that never were below.
This includes some previously unseen C64 screens for Joust and half of one for Stargate…
