Back in 1985, CU reviewed Nexus for the C64 under the Beyond label, but it never surfaced. In June 1986, CU did a preview of the game and explained that the original game was held up as Beyond were taken … Continue reading
A very quick entry for a title we know very little about at present, but was advertised in Personal Computer Games 1984 (Issue 8) by Visions Software. Nifty Lifty was advertised by Visions for the C64, BBC Micro and ZX … Continue reading
Keeping with all the hype of the ex-world champion, Gremlin bought the rights to produce a game based on the famous British Formula One driver, with Nigel Mansell’s World Championship.
Originally, it seemed that by 1992 – Gremlin felt it was time to move on from the 8-bit platforms, and their new licence was just to be a 16-bit release. However, magazines of the time would help to make Gremlin reconsider, with Commodore Format pushing their readers to fill in a small slip to ask for the game to be converted. Continue reading
A early licence of Nigel Mansell was planned by Martech in 1988, and the game was set to deliver where other racers failed. The game was actually reviewed in the Swedish Magazine ‘Soft’ Issue#3, May/June 1988. The game was definitely … Continue reading
Now, this title has been in GTW64 before many moons ago – and was swiftly taken out – as it was believed that the game was just released as “The Chess Game” by MicroClassic. Zzap strangely had reviewed the game … Continue reading
Yes, we are aware that Nightbreed was indeed released by Ocean back in 1990… but that was the arcade and an interactive movie game. Ocean had the licence to do three games, Arcade, Arcade Adventure (which never had a C64 … Continue reading

When the C64 was dying out commercially, Jon Wells was trying to flood the C64 with new releases. One of his ideas was to take the entire back catalogue of Clive Wilson adventure titles and update them with new graphics, … Continue reading
Nimitz was being produced by Martech back in 1988 (possibly started even further back in 1986!) and Andrew found the game whilst scanning through ACE magazine (September 1988). In the mention, the price was quoted as £9.99 for cassette and … Continue reading
A rather interestingly named game, Ninja Grannies was first heard about thanks to an entry on the World Of Spectrum and its own particular entry. The game was to be a multi-loader, multi-level pensioner fighting game. According to the developer, … Continue reading

Yet another Titus title which was mentioned in a schedule list from 1990 for the C64 on Tape and Disk. Strangely the game never surfaced on any platform and doesn’t seem to have got past the schedule list. Just what … Continue reading
