1944
A very short entry for something which probably isn’t a proper game and was never intended as such. This is a parody on the 1942 and 1943 games, which the author clearly states they hate. So they created this short … Continue reading

2Pac
Feels like yesterday that I put up a webpage on this game, promoting it as “coming soon”. In the days when I was doing C64 news as well as GTW as a side stream site. Now over 19 years on … Continue reading
3 Days In Carpathia
3 Days In Carpathia was originally thought to be a sequel to the popular Valkyrie 17 game by George Stone and The Ram Jam Corp. A text adventure, which was written using “The Biro” and featuring character set screens, livened … Continue reading
4 Emelet
4 Emelet was a really lovely looking Hungarian graphic text adventure that was being developed back in 2012. Great quality overall, but sadly seems to have been abandoned at this stage, with no further updates in almost 10 years at … Continue reading
48 Hours
A point and click based adventure game in similar vein to the Lucasfilm series. Move around the locations and solve the puzzles. The game was confirmed to be heavily inspired by Day of The Tenticle by Lucasfilm. The game was … Continue reading
666 – The Number of the Beast
A surprise entry into the archives which is thanks to its creator Keith Purkiss. This was a game that was being developed for Alternative Software in 1989 and was created whilst in between projects for Probe Software. According to Keith, … Continue reading
720 Degrees USA V1
A big thanks to Martin / Stadium 64 (http://s64.emuunlim.com/) for highlighting this interesting entry. 720 degrees was released in the UK by US Gold, and also in the USA by Mindscape a year later. Two completely different versions. However the … Continue reading
7DShoot
7DShoot is a nice and simple football game, where you have a ball that comes across the screen and you have to time your connection with it to shoot it into the back of a net. The game was developed … Continue reading
8-Bit Fighters
A short entry for a title possibly inspired by Super Smash Bros? This is a very early development that features Mario and Megaman that move around quite nicely, but that is about it at the moment. A very early proof … Continue reading
8-Kings
2003 Argonaut Games Platform: Nokia N-Gage As part of the launch and release of The Games That Weren’t book, we are adding assets and content that didn’t make it to print as bonus DLC content to share with you. Within the book is … Continue reading
A.P.E.X
A Review Zak and Maniac Mansion type adventure A.P.E.X stands for Advanced Prototype EXploration Unit, and is the beginning of a fair looking Operation Wolf clone. The preview features some average graphics and good music, and smoothly scrolls along. Although … Continue reading
Abstract
Another puzzler, and sadly another one without instructions. I’m not quite sure what this game is about, so maybe you can help give a better description? This fair looking puzzler was planned for release by CP Verlag back in 1993, … Continue reading
Accilatem
Accilatem was an early attempt at an RPG created by a 15 year old LDX#40 in 1989 whilst operating under the handle of “Noggie” at the time. It is also “Metalicca” spelt backwards too :-) Sadly the project was never … Continue reading
Ace Of Hearts
Another poker game, with an element of women in it… After the dire Sam Fox Strip Poker game, companies still persisted to create a ultimate strip poker game. A bit after the C64’s commercial death, Martin Olsen attempted his own … Continue reading
Acid House
An exclusive to GTW which was uncovered on a disk by Jason Kelk in 2005. This is a really neat two part preview, with the main part featuring a nice sideway scrolling SEU with some nice (if pink..) graphics, and … Continue reading
Acidball
A little demo created for an Acid C64 party which was created in about 4 hours in a small tent, with various extras added. Its not a lot, it features a Commodore Symbol which shoots sperm type bullets at the … Continue reading
Acolyte
Acolyte is a cancelled Clockwise title that was practically complete when it was cancelled, and a neat multi-screen arcade adventure which had versions created for ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. It seems the game was originally being developed by Video Images, but then picked up by Clockwise to finish off and sell to someone like Alternative Software, but sadly it never happened.
Today we’re adding an early prototype version of the Amstrad CPC edition thanks to Dean Hickingbottom, which doesn’t have all the enemies, has slightly different titles and also may have differences in the map as well. Continue reading
Activision 10in1 Atari 2600 SNES prototypes
Our next entry into the archives is something very interesting, which is sort of a set of prototypes of a game pack that was released, but then could be a cancelled attempt of some kind. Back in 2000, DC Studios helped produce a compilation for ToyMax in 2000, which was released and later re-released by JAKKS Pacific. Continue reading
Ad Infinitum
Brought to my attention by Jason Kelk, AD Infinitum is a early version of W.A.R which was released by Martech in 1986. You may wonder what a game like this is doing in the GTW archives, but you will notice … Continue reading
Adroit
A little puzzle game which was planned for the popular German games magazine, Magic Disk. This preview features 5 levels of puzzle shuffling to represent the pictures supplied with the puzzle. This is by no means a new idea. A … Continue reading
