Even after over 25 years of running the archive, we still encounter many surprise findings which were never known about – and which is a huge part of the fun of running GTW. Contributor Retroboy got in touch in early … Continue reading
And we thought that only Platform Mania and Colditz V1 were the titles we were looking for from Ste Pattullo. Well, we were wrong, and Labyrinths was yet another title which never got to see the light of day, sadly … Continue reading
As the C64 was dying, Jon Wells was out there trying to save it. This was one of Jon’s big efforts to try and save the scene, and bring one final Last Ninja to the C64. Jon created a series … Continue reading

Thanks to Jakob Voos, we are presented with a game which had never been seen before and was exclusive to GTW back in early 2000 time. Unfinished and previously unreleased until now. Jakob sent GTW a game called Lazytech. A … Continue reading
Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since the release of this preview. I remember it very well when it first came out, and being a clever twist on Pacman, where you control a ghost instead. Lovely looking graphics and … Continue reading
A terrible preview, with awful graphics and no playability. There is a simple grey blob thing at the bottom of the screen, with some naff score bits on the left, and nothing to do. It’s not known what this game … Continue reading
Legacy of the Fallen was an ambitious add-on pack developed by Anarchy Arts as an expansion for the 1998 first-person shooter Shogo: Mobile Armor Division. The project began in late 1998 after Monolith Productions, the creators of Shogo, approached Anarchy Arts with an offer to develop the add-on. For the relatively young and unknown studio, this was an exciting opportunity to make a name and earn revenue, so they accepted. Continue reading
A wonderful sounding project was announced to the C64 world when Legend Of Kyril was being planned for release by Crystal Software. A potentially stunning RPG game in the style of Johnny Reb and other RPG’s was on its way … Continue reading
Legendary Deed is another powerful RPG game in similiar vein to those created by US Gold around the same time. The preview is unplayable, but shows a series of screens which build up the game. Graphically, all looks nice and … Continue reading
1993 TCFS Platform: Commodore Plus/4 Back when Lemmings was being converted to every platform under the sun, the poor old Plus/4 was being neglected, having long been abandoned commercially. That however didn’t stop Tamás Sasvári (code) and Csaba Kémeri (graphics) … Continue reading
Information had been a little bit vague on this game. It was uncertain for a while if this were meant as a joke, or in fact was a real Lemmings conversion attempt. All there was, was a simple attempt at … Continue reading
Liberation was a game similar to Turrican, and was in development for quite some time by Profile Entertainment. Danish based Profile Entertainment are also known under their demo name, Camelot. The game had a brief mention in the pages of … Continue reading
A nice little single screen western OP Wolf style shooter, with the added ability to choose your route of travel. This game was also slightly similiar in some aspects to Tusker. There was to be some puzzle solving elements in … Continue reading
Liberator was to be part of a two game bundle along with a game called Sarumax (which eventually turned into Elven Warrior and was released by Players Software). The game itself was a sort of Hunters Moon meets Solar Jetman, … Continue reading
This was planned as a late release for the Trojan Lightgun, featuring Archery as the theme. Featuring some fair graphics and additions to make it playable for joystick users in this preview, it isn’t too bad. It’s certainly not the … Continue reading
This game features the adventures of Leroy, a Lego character in a lego based world. The graphics are very cartoony, and very faithful to lego (No.. not blocky before you say!). Levels are portrayed over a horizontal push scroll landscape. … Continue reading
This is a bit of an obscure title which was never really mentioned in any magazines, that is apart from Games X magazine in 1991. This game was a Wonderboy 3/Alex Kidd clone done by the team behind Escape From … Continue reading
Weird little platform game featuring a cute looking duck (Or what is supposed to be a duck anyway). You collect various little gems and jump over holes in the ground, and that’s currently about it in this preview. It’s currently … Continue reading
Little Hero is a simple platformer, in the style of Giana Sisters and in a very early phase it seems. At present the demo which has been floating around seems to just be a quick test of the graphics, with … Continue reading
