Games That Weren't^®

A very old school type of game here, with a main jet which has to be guided through a series of caverns. This is similiar in a way to Killer Watt, though lacking a lot of what that game had … Continue reading →

A pretty cool game which is based on the Jet Fighter game on the VCS Combat compilation. It even has a AI player that you can play against! This was found whilst sorting through Cory Kin’s personal disks, and we … Continue reading →

Not entirely sure how we missed this, but it was tucked away in the demo archives as Pulse Preview. We discovered it by going through Cory Kin’s CNet disks and got a bit of a surprise to see a proper … Continue reading →

Now, time for a bit of a surprise – back in the early 80’s, there was rumour of Software Project’s having internal competitions between developers to see who could get a conversion of Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy done … Continue reading →

Great news, but for years this game was existing as a preview, but the guys at Protovision in 2011 have now released the game! Check it all out here: http://www.protovision-online.com/games/jimslim.htm Case closed!

A strange little game this, with some nice looking early graphics and main character. This preview is at a very early stage, as you cannot really do anything apart from jump on the platforms. It’s not known what kind of … Continue reading →

Following on from the recent recovery of Scarabaeus 2, yet another Andromeda preview has been found and recovered thanks again to Thomas Sol Sunhede and Hedning, Zyron and Whisper of Genesis Project. Again, this disk was in a bundle of … Continue reading →

A 3D Operation Wolf style blaster featuring 2000 AD’s Barbie lookalike Psi-Judge Anderson gunning down the evil Judge Death’s zombie hordes. Unlike previous games of this genre, Judge Death actually showed your hand clasping the lethal Lawgiver (gun favoured by … Continue reading →

Another puzzle game which i’m not sure exactly what you have to do. However, I can tell you that the game features some nice graphics and sound. This game was obviously being created in the aim of being sold commercially, … Continue reading →

Jump is a very neat looking Great Giana Sisters clone with a cool hires sprite. In this preview, there is one level and some annoying spikes to avoid – but it is enough to see the amount of promise in … Continue reading →

Our next title was apparently being planned for release by CP-Verlag back in 1994, but i’m not so convinced. Jump-Kid is more of a technical demo than an actual game – plenty of polish and lovely music, but there isn’t … Continue reading →

A platform and ladders game from 1999, which first appeared on Forum 64.de from a guy called TecM0 who released the unfinished game onto the forum. It is in assembler format, so when you get to the screen – press … Continue reading →

Roy has done some great C64 games in recent times, and Jumpy64 was one of a few in the pipeline that had some particular promise. Jumpy64 was framed within a Game Boy style screen and made to feel like an … Continue reading →

Another game which I unfortunately cannot say too much about, due to the game being in German. It seems to be a trading game of somekind, and something i’ve been told is quite a popular type of game in Germany. … Continue reading →

This game looks to be a Space Invader/Mega Phoenix clone in updated fashion, and it isn’t that bad. The background graphics and sprites look quite good. Even though the preview is simple, it plays well and just has a good … Continue reading →

Kevin in the Woods (also known as Goethe in Halberstadt) is an action-adventure game developed by Bamse (aka Squidward) for the Forum64 Game Competition 2015, where it placed 6th. The game features a top-down perspective, with NPCs, enemies, collectible items … Continue reading →
