Thanks to Carlos Vazquez for highlighting this one. Monster Squad potentially is a title which was based on the 1987 movie. The question is whether the ACEUK company was a proper company, and if this was a proper quick cash … Continue reading
1985 Oliver Ridler Platform: Commodore VIC-20 If you consider that the Commodore 64 essentially put an end to the VIC-20’s commercial life perhaps a bit prematurely, there are likely many titles out there which never saw the light of day … Continue reading
Thanks to Boerge Noest for highlighting this rather obscure game which was mentioned and discussed in Norweigen magazine Mikrodata back in 1984. Apart from a discussion with the developers (In Norweigen at present, but here we go: Page 1, Page … Continue reading
An interesting new GTW entry this time from Silverbird, who advertised this game within inlays of other games and also on a magazine advert (where the screenshot comes from). It’s thanks to Richard Hewison from The Bird Sanctuary that this … Continue reading
Nothing much to our next entry I’m afraid. Mr. Pilic is a game from 2011 that seems to be a Manic Miner clone of sorts, but not currently playable (at least I wasn’t able to control anything). There’s a dog … Continue reading
A quick entry for a title that has recently been recovered and released over at http://www.pagetable.com/?p=940 . This is a title that was written back in 1986 by Peter Hempel and written in German. It has been translated in 2018 … Continue reading
A little Christmas 2022 bonus thanks to Csaba Virag, who has found two BASIC German C128 titles that don’t seem to have yet been preserved. B-1 Bomber and Spukschloss. C128 games are hard to find, and although these are probably … Continue reading
Hidden in the Thalamus archives is a game called Nuker. A bizzare name, but a rather interesting game! Standing for “NUclear SnooKER”, the obective is for the player to guide his spherical craft around randomly shaped areas, shooting spherical toxic … Continue reading
Although not an unreleased game as such, this is an obscure C64 based compilation that was released late in the C64’s life, which featured commercial games as PD games. It’s likely not many sold, and as a result hasn’t really … Continue reading
Confirmed by JDP (who can search Gamebase64 far better than I!) that these were in fact released on the C64 in some shape or form and can be downloaded from here: http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=5595&d=18&h=0 http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=5414&d=18&h=0 Case closed!
Even after many years of GTW running, there are still many interesting titles and bits being uncovered, and this was been the case yet again in 2021 with a finding thanks to the preservation efforts of Csaba Virag who found … Continue reading
Now then, our next entry is a title which was never advertised in the press or mentioned. It was highlighted to us when Andrew Morris (Magnetic Fields graphic artist, who did graphics for Kikstart 2, Lotus 2 and many others) … Continue reading
Thanks to the section from Gamebase, a game which they are also searching for, i’m able to produce a strong review for this game. Most sections are borrowed from the Gamebase review, so therefore credits are given at the foot. … Continue reading
Not unreleased it seems, but a hard to find set of titles which aid with writing which had been missing for some time. Allan Pinkerton has kindly preserved 3 of 4 titles in the series, which we are pleased to … Continue reading
A tragic tale for this title, where Plotting was in fact fully completed and even reviewed by the top C64 magazines at the time. The game was planned for Cartridge release, to allow for instantaneous action and plenty of graphical … Continue reading
A colourful single screen platform adventure game comes in the form of a oddly named game ‘Pluff’… Named after the blobby main character who has to go around various rooms collecting various objects, in classic JSW style action. The game … Continue reading
A short entry for a Pong game that has been recovered by Csaba Virag, and what seems to be a German pong game that was potentially released and written by Matthias Goldmann. The game seems pretty complete, but we’re not … Continue reading
Even after well over 20 years since the formation of the GTW64 digital archive, we are still often surprised by what turns up from time to time. In October 2021 is yet another surprise thanks to preservationist Ken Van Mersbergen. … Continue reading
1984 Simon Freeman and David Hayhoe Platform: ZX Spectrum 48k Our next entry is an interesting Popeye clone that was produced for the ZX Spectrum back in 1984. It was discovered on a set of tapes at Ocean by Mark … Continue reading
Another GTW from Channel 8 Software, this game presumably followed a similar pattern to other GTWs, ‘Gotcha’ Maths and Toddler Tutor, essentially being educational games for young children. There isn’t any more information on these games sadly, they have entries … Continue reading
