1994 Spectrum HoloByte Platform: 3DO and PC Or as its full title: ‘Star Trek: The Next Generation – A World For All Seasons’. This early 3DO title was to be a ground-breaking interactive adventure game from Spectrum HoloByte, based on … Continue reading
Not an official licence of the game, at least, especially not in 1999! :) One of the scener’s, Patrick Furlong, started the unofficial game back in 1999/2000 and designed everything which would be in the game. Set out as a … Continue reading
1993 Maelstrom / Mirage Platform: PC The next entry to go into the archive is a title which has been in my blurred memories for many years. I always recall sitting down and watching an episode of Gamesmaster on Channel … Continue reading
Thanks for the heads up from Jazzcat – Starfighter One was a game that was mentioned in Danish Magazine IC RUN Nov/Dec 1988. It was briefly mentioned as being developed, from a newsletter from Starvision’s owner Ivan Sølvason. Sadly there … Continue reading
Designed as the sequel to the highly thought of Star Fleet, Star Fleet II was aimed at being bigger, better and more complex than its already complex predecessor. Both were war simulation games where you controlled ships and armies, in … Continue reading
1983 Atarisoft Platform: Commodore Vic 20 A short entry which we will try and flesh out soon. Stargate was listed as being due for release for the Commodore Vic 20 over at https://www.digitpress.com/faq/atarisoft.htm – though was cancelled either due to … Continue reading
Stargate Legacy was described as a spectacular graphic adventure from Databyte, which was rumoured to be scripted by the same people who brought “Borrowed Time” to C64 screens and was three years in the making according to the C&G news … Continue reading
Starship was a fair 3D Wireframe strategy/action game which was being released on the Atari ST first, and then ported to the C64 at a later date. It seems that the Atari ST version never surfaced also, as nothing can … Continue reading
A short entry for a series of titles by The Steam Powered Computer Company which were highlighted by contributor Dan Warren. At present, the only game by the company in the archives is The Inheritance, which was released in 1985 … Continue reading
Stellar 7 – not quite the same vector game which did see the light of day, but a sequel to Hades Nebula that was shelved fairly early on in it’s development after The Bitmap Brother released Xenon. The reason? Well, … Continue reading
A short entry for a title that was flagged up in the brilliant Gremlin In the Works book, where Martin Fowler talked of working on a 2D snooker game endorsed by Stephen Hendry for Zeppelin Software that was being worked on by him and Tony Reeves at Dreamscape Designs. Continue reading
Yet another Firebird title which was never to see the light of day, and a rather promising Armalyte kind of game too! Storm Warrior was like Armalyte but with a full colour scroll (something pioneered at Ocean, scrolling the whole … Continue reading
Not massively different, but thanks to Luca Bertoldi, here is a screen showing a rather different looking main character for Stormlord – looking more elvish and beardless. It’s possible that more early screens exist, so if you spot any – … Continue reading
An arcade game from a company better known for their text adventure games. Stratos was advertised for the C64, Atari and TRS-80 – and seems to have been released for the last two platforms but the C64. They even have … Continue reading
1993 U.S. Gold Platform: Amstrad CPC Our next entry into the archives is one which has tormented Amstrad CPC users for many many years. But were they then perhaps saved from the lack of a Street Fighter 2 conversion? Back … Continue reading
Street Fighter 2 is well known for being an average conversion and very easy game on the C64 when it was eventually released. With so many people let down by the conversion, recent years have seen homebrew attempts to try … Continue reading
A very short entry for another potential lost Capcom conversion in the shape of Street Football (not to be confused with the similarly named Epyx game). This was to be a conversion of the Bally Sente arcade game. The game … Continue reading
