Not playable this one i’m afraid.. "The Old World" is simply one to look at… with a series of screenshots which show different time periods and items to do with that time period. It’s not very clear how the game … Continue reading →

The Pinz is a cool Othello game with some neat graphics and music, being produced by Lost Generation back in 1995 time. Overall the game was looking very promising indeed, and was likely to be part of a last wave … Continue reading →

A nice new entry into GTW, and a really nice little game too. Slightly reminisant of the likes of Jon Well’s ‘Shaolin’ title. It’s a single screen platformer, where the main character has to dispose of a variety of enemies … Continue reading →

After the many years of enjoyment with Lords of Midnight and Dungeon Master, Thalamus revealed their latest masterpiece The Search for Sharla. The game was to feature a staggering 32,000 views from each direction, sleep option and 512 totally interactive … Continue reading →

A quick entry for a title which recently surfaced thanks to Magnar Harestad who dug out his own game preview and put on CSDB. This is a good little Dungeon Master style maze game which is in its early days. … Continue reading →

The Sixth Sense doesn’t seem to be anything to do with the film that appeared a few years later, but is a neat looking Dungeon Master style game from 1993 with a cool blue effect throughout. You can currently wander … Continue reading →

Our next entry is a simple puzzler, where you must replicate the pattern on the right side of the screen before your opponent does. Nothing much to it, but can be some simple fun if you have someone to play … Continue reading →

Throne of Fire was due to be published by Melbourne House, and saw release on both the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC platforms. The C64 version was never to appear, despite adverts. The game was designed by Mike Singleton and … Continue reading →

It isn’t quite known yet, but possibly this is another unfinished X-Ample relic from the past. This time we have a futuristic one on one game where you have to get the ball into the opponents goal by pushing the … Continue reading →

This is a promising looking preview of a game which reminds me slightly of Cyberdyne Warrior. Its a nice preview, with some fair (If jumbled) graphics in places. The main sprite moves very well and in places the graphics look … Continue reading →
