Games That Weren't^®

Thanks to a contributor called Mike, he found within the manual of Spitfire Ace, an advert for a game called Wingman for both the Atari and C64. The game was released on the Atari at least, and was a split … Continue reading →

Yet another film licence which was in development by Ocean Software back in 1990 also known as "Firebird". This was only really reported in the pages of Commodore Format, Issue 4, and nothing else was really heard of the game … Continue reading →

A very obscure title, and one we knew very little about – though ‘Anonymous Contributor’ (referenced as ‘AC’ in the rest of the page) has helped to shed some great light on the title. Much of the information written below … Continue reading →

Witch Way is a C64 conversion of a rather rare Vic 20 game from CDS (from the same time period as Road Toad). Thanks to an archiver of the Vic 20 cartridge on the Denial Forum we can let you … Continue reading →
