This particular entry is closely tied to the Commodore 64 edition of the game, which first helped highlight the project and its unusual origins. For some time, there had been confusion over this title, especially given that Superior Software had already released a Chess game back in 1984.

In 2007, Stormfront Studios and designer Joe Wampole (who previously worked on BloodRayne) pitched an eerie and dark take on many established fairy tales – such as Cinderella, Pinocchio, Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and many more to Vivendi Games. Continue reading
Atomic Robokid was a horizontal scrolling game developed and released in Japanese arcades by UPL and in the USA by Nikom. Activision got the rights to port it to the UK home systems and it was released on the Commodore Amiga, Commodore 64 and Atari ST and adverts reflect this fact. Continue reading
A short entry for now thanks to Bertrand / AtariMania, who found a multi-platform advert regarding a light pen and some software from a Liverpool-based company called Startech in 1983.

Next up in the archives is a show reel game that was produced back in 2000 to tout to potential publishers in the form of this neat Space Invaders clone called Vaderz. Continue reading
Following on from Maximum Overdrive, we’re adding a very early entry for a title called Solar Wind, which didn’t get particularly far unfortunately. We’re not sure if it was to be a 3rd person flying game, or a 2D scrolling game at this stage. Continue reading
A short entry for a missing Tiger Game.com game that was due for release back in October 1998 called Small Soldiers and based on the DreamWorks film, where toy soldiers transform sleepy suburbia into a combat zone. Continue reading
