Yet another Lemmings conversion for the C64, but this time an official conversion which surprisingly was almost done by DMA Designs themselves! During the development of Lemmings, Mike Dailly who worked as part of DMA at the time got working … Continue reading
Another surprise, but it seems there was an influx of Lemmings developments going on, and here we have a second official conversion which was being done by Jed Adams who worked with Mike Dailly (who created the first test demo). … Continue reading
Lemonoids was to be a sort of sequel to the puzzler Stratagos, which also didn’t sadly get released. The game had lemons with faces that had to be re-arranged in particular way. Andrew believes he probably spent more time doing … Continue reading
1993 Radical Software Platform: Amstrad CPC (possibly Plus range) With the infamous Amstrad version of Street Fighter 2 never going to appear, a fan of the machine would take matters into their own hands back in 1993 with the development … Continue reading
After sampling the great Rolling Ronny game from BONESPARK, they had much much more in store for our beloved C64’s back in the early 90’s. One such promising title was a conversion of a stunning Amiga German (thanks Teki!) shooter … Continue reading
A very old C64 title that has seemingly been lost to time, highlighted to us by Håvar Bruvold Hojem and spotted in a 1984 US gaming catalogue called Soft Encyclopaedia. The title was apparently to be released on cartridge, and … Continue reading
Early days it may be as we attempt to find out more about yet another game that never was, we can in fact show a fair chunk of the game via some of its bitmap designs for levels and other … Continue reading
Advertised in many magazines, this was a title being sold by Anik Microsystems… however only two Anik games exist and seem to have been released on the C64. The advert describes the game as follows: "Make the connection 4 enjoyment" … Continue reading
Litil Divil was a Gremlin title that had seen massive delays, but was worth the wait for the most part – scoring well across the board on the likes of PC DOS, CD-i and Amiga CD32 platforms. There were interestingly a number of conversions that would never see the light of day, including a version for the Super Nintendo CD (which was the original target platform). When things fell through, work was moved to PC and other platforms. Continue reading
Thanks to Peter Weighill for the heads up. This entry is a collection entry for a bunch of educational titles that were advertised by “Little People Software” in the 80’s in America, but don’t seem to have surfaced just yet. … Continue reading
Well, this entry may not come as much of a suprise, especially now you have learned about how the actual released game came about. We all talk about Aquablast as being what Live and Let Die used to be, but … Continue reading
This was to be yet another Liverpool licenced football game, but a budget title. Strangely this was announced at a similiar time to when Grandslam were working on their first Liverpool game. Where as Grandslam signed the entire squad for … Continue reading
Wasn’t Liverpool The Game released in 1993? Yes, it was – but it seems that Grandslam had a previous version underway in 1989, a long long time before its eventual release. But what a difference though between the two! This … Continue reading
Ok, its not a game as such, and a rather odd release from Martech planned back in 1985. Living Body was to be an educational game teaching about the body, based on a CH4 documentary. It was mentioned and confirmed … Continue reading
An interesting conversion which never seems to have got much spotlight, but was indeed a C64 conversion in the workings. Confirmation made by the screenshots printed in Commodore User magazine back in the time. This was kind of a cross … Continue reading
A game which sadly could be lost forever… This was a title by Artur Bujdoso (Who created Marbloid which is also in the archives) that was mimicking "Dynamix" and "Compunet". The game got to a kind of "playable preview" but … Continue reading
Boom Software had a number of titles advertised in 1984 for the Commodore 64, including this game. From what we can see, this game seems like it does exist, but is yet to be preserved – being in the C64tapes … Continue reading
A very short entry to highlight a currently missing title which may or may not have been released. Possibly an education title with the LOGO language by No Man’s Land, was it completed or released? Can you help us find … Continue reading
A very quick entry for a title which may well have been released, but is yet to be preserved. The advert describes the game as follows: “Invest your money in any of the 233 Companies-Commodities and attempt to gain a … Continue reading
A bit of an interesting entry this time, and a game which had some brief involvement from Jon Hare in his pre-Sensible days doing graphics in various bit parts for games. Lone Wolf seems to be part of a series … Continue reading
