Games That Weren't^®

An odd entry this time, covering something which I was actually involved on :-) Tanx was to be an enhanced version of a game called Tanx written by David Ponting for Your 64 magazine as a type-in. The original game … Continue reading →

Another unfinished Lepsi game, and unfortunatly another tried and tested theme, based on Galaxians. Controlling your space ship, you must blast attack waves of alien lifeform, all over the top of a set of nicely drawn bitmaps. The attackwaves are … Continue reading →

Quite often when doing GTW64, we get a number of shocks and surprises that crop up, and none more than when we found a PDS disk with Tarzan Goes Ape written on it within Ashley Routledge’s disk collection. Started around … Continue reading →

"Technodream" is a fair "Lightforce" clone, with average graphics and gameplay. Although only just less than 10 years old, the game looks a lot older. It’s not known why the game was incomplete or who it was to be released … Continue reading →

This is the start of what seems to be an odd conversion of a title released on Amiga and PC – an icon driven graphic adventure game which was called “Telekommando II – The Return of the Telekommando” Nothing is … Continue reading →

Temple of Medom is an early and very strange game, where you control a bird initially flying over a landscape. Pressing fire and moving actually allows you to fly, but you can also land on the ground and turn into … Continue reading →

Terminus has some nice graphics, but the actual gameplay is very simplistic and doesn’t offer hardly any playability at this stage. You simply have to shoot the incoming enemies, which follow a very monotonous waveform – so much so that … Continue reading →

This is a title that seems to be missing at present and we believe was due for release by Novotrade. The same team that did titles such as Impossible Mission 2 and Express Raider on the C64. Now the last … Continue reading →

Although we have been adding games to the archive for many years, we still continue to see various surprises and unknowns unearthed as time goes on. There i’m sure will be many more to come still. In late August of … Continue reading →

A nice looking Tetris clone that was produced back in 1994 but sadly never got much further than its preview that sneaked out. Not too much to say apart from that it looks nice and plays ok, but still a … Continue reading →

Seems we are building quite a collection of abandoned Tetris conversions, now with the addition of yet another called Tetrix. This was recovered from a set of Hungarian disks by Csaba Virag, and was written back in 1987 by two … Continue reading →

What a nice little game…. well, preview anyway. This is a Bubble Bobble style clone, even mixed with a little bit of Parasol Stars… which we never got to see. Nice cartoony graphics, and cute little objects. Looks like a … Continue reading →

The Attack of the Blue Bomber is a great little game – a clone of Fort Apocalypse and Airwolf by Elite. You must navigate your blue helicopter through a series of tight caverns, avoiding lasers and fired missiles. You must … Continue reading →

A simple maze game from Lepsi I think. Quite simplistic, with simplistic gameplay and graphics. There doesn’t seem to be too much to actually do apart from run around the maze and collect the crystals. The Ball tries to take … Continue reading →

Our next entry is a title that looks to have sadly been abandoned. The Blob (working title) was slated for release in 2013 and as part of the 16KB Cartridge Development Competition that year – but never surfaced. The title … Continue reading →
