1991 Team 17 Platform: Commodore Amiga It hadn’t been long since the release of Speedball 2, when Team 17 decided to get in on the act. Whereas Speedball 2 was inspired by the classic 1975 film, Team 17 may have … Continue reading

Rolling Ronny 2
A quick entry which can be quickly cleared up… Rolling Ronny was a neat little platformer from 1991 which brings back some memories for myself in the days of buying Commodore Format. You basically controlled a clown on roller-skates who … Continue reading
Rolling Thunder GS
Well, thanks to David Wightman – we learn of yet another C64GS title that never quite made it. Rolling Thunder was to be a title developed for either Ocean or US Gold (To be confirmed) by Imagitec. David remembers seeing … Continue reading

Rookies
1992 Virgin Platforms: Commodore Amiga, PC and Atari ST Our next entry looks very much like an isometric version of Cannon Fodder, also released by Virgin, but this was around 1-2 years before that game. This particular title was in … Continue reading
Rotator
1991 Rainbow Arts Platforms: Atari ST, Commodore Amiga and PC Not to be confused with the recent Psytronik release of the same name, Rotator was a one/two player tank game, where you would have to link a number of generators … Continue reading
Rugby World Cup 2
Possibly one not to get too excited about, but this entry has come about due to a letter which was sent in from Claire Edgeley from Domark about the original game. The original game missed out rucks and mauls, but … Continue reading
Rygar Lynx prototype
Next up is a short entry for a potential prototype to try and find, thanks to Ross Sillifant for highlighting. When you take a look at the original Tecmo arcade, and various home conversions – you will notice that pretty … Continue reading

S.T.U.N Runner, better on Speccy?
Interesting find on our travels, but as some may well know – the Spectrum version of S.T.U.N Runner wasnt particularly great (Well, the C64 version was only marginally better, but thats not saying much). However, things could have been a … Continue reading
S.U.B
1993 Thalamus Platforms: Commodore Amiga and PC A short entry for a title due for release by Thalamus on the Amiga and PC late into the publisher’s life (thanks to Kevin Tilley for flagging this one up to cover). This … Continue reading
Sabian Island
Sabian Island seems to be yet another game that was advertised to buy through mail order from a software company, without actually having ever being released. I don’t know how many games were ‘released’ as such in the 1980s but … Continue reading
Saboteur 3
A nice surprise for GTW, but recently for Retro Gamer – Martyn Carroll did a feature on Durell Software and had a boxout on Saboteur 3. This was being set up primarily on the ZX Spectrum, but since then we … Continue reading
Safari Guns
One major category of GTWs is "Games That Were, but not on the C64". In this case, ST and Amiga versions were released, but despite being announced (referenced in the January 1990 issue of Computer Action magazine) as forthcoming for … Continue reading
Sagan Om Ringen
This was a competition entry in the Swedish Adventure Game Championship, held by a gaming magazine. Completely finished and coming third place, the game was never actually released anywhere it seems, as apparently it was written just for the competition … Continue reading
Sagan Om Ringen
1985 Peter Tjernström Platform: ZX Spectrum Our next ZX Spectrum title in the archives is a missing Swedish adventure based on Lord of the Rings (and even named so in Swedish!), which came first in a competition. The creator was … Continue reading
Saigon Combat Unit

Salvage
Salvage was a text/graphics adventure based on a redundant convict space shuttle where you must recover the valuable Sequerra Crystal, work out the teleport code and save your life by teleporting off the craft. There are many problems to overcome … Continue reading
Salvage 1 and 2
A quick entry for a title where the 3rd title in the series seems to be out there (http://www.gb64.com/game.php?id=17549), but the first two are completely missing. The first two versions did exist, as it was clearly advertised in the press … Continue reading

Samber was a pretty neat Load Runner clone that was produced back in 1997 time by Lepsi, a Polish development company. It was released via Commodore Scene in the UK and sold a few copies to warrent Lepsi wanting to … Continue reading
