A short entry for a title that was released, but seems to be at large at the moment, like Habitat was for many years. As with Habitat, RabbitJack’s Casino was a game that was created for the Quantum Link service … Continue reading
Whilst at Zzap Live in May 2025, we met up with the legendary Tim Gilberts, who set up Gilsoft at the age of just 17. Tim flagged up that he had a very rare Italian version of The Quill which didn’t seem to be out there and preserved called “Creator 2”. Unfortunately it wouldn’t load for him. Continue reading
Nope, you’re swanking brand new widescreen colour TV hasn’t gone up the creak… just our next preview has gone a little greyscale… hurrah for the final band of b/w tv owners out there! Luckily, the game is nothing to do … Continue reading
EDIT – Developer eventually completed game and it can now be found at csdb.dk/release/?id=166946 I loved the original Rent-a-cop game when it was released in the 2012 RGCD games competition. It was a brilliant tribute to Activision’s Keystone Capers game … Continue reading
Hold on a sec… this looks a little familiar… Take Player’s"Turbo Kart Racer", jazz up the graphics and change the karts to motorbikes, and you get "Retro Torque". This little update by Paul Black was done especially for Commodore Force … Continue reading

Thanks to Fliplift on the Lemon64 forums, a very rare promo edition of Rock Star Ate My Hamster on the Commodore 64 has been recovered. This was released through The Sun newspaper, and has been missing for quite some time, … Continue reading
We completely missed this great finding by Ken Van Mersbergen back last year on the Atari Age website. Rockball was to be released way back in 1983 by a company called Roklan, and was a conversion of an arcade game … Continue reading
A very short entry, as technically this was released – but only briefly! Rocket Roger had a reputation of being a rock hard game, but it also went through two iterations! Initially when previewed and briefly sold at a PCW … Continue reading
A very interesting new GTW entry, and a game which was part of a competition held by 64’er magazine back in 1993. Rockus was one of the entries for the competition, but sadly didn’t win, and hence was never released … Continue reading
A very quick entry to add an early game by Ivan Venturi called Ruba e fuggi (or Steal and Flee), which was due for release back in 1986 on the Simulmondo label, but was never to be. The game has … Continue reading
