Cancelled & Unreleased Video Games for the Commodore 64 Since 1999
Archive A-Z links | Search archive
We cover Cancelled & Unreleased Video games for the Commodore 64 computer. A non-profit large archive dedicated to preserving lost games that were never released to the public, as well as prototypes and the odd preservation of released titles. Our aim to share history and stories from the developers, assets and more before it is too late. GTW has been preserving lost video game history since 1999, and long before that offline.
Please Browse our archive and discover the many entries that we host and have saved over the years.
What was first thought to be a lost and unreleased educational game on the Commodore 64, has been found safe and well thanks to the guys at the Personal Computer Museum.
Chutes and Ladders has been on our missing list for a while now, and has thankfully been backed up by the museum and provided to all for posterity.

As the backlog is starting to creep up a bit, here is something to relieve the backlog pressure!…
A big thanks to Retroid64 who has produced an excellent Top 10 YouTube video of most wanted GTW64 titles and findings in the archive. Check it out below! :-)
Thanks to Enthusi/Onslaught in the C64 scene, the long lost St. Pauli adventure game has been found and recovered. This is a German based adventure game written in GAC which was released in very limited numbers.
It has been known about, but missing for many years and on the wanted lists of GTW64 and Gamebase for sometime. As it has had a proper commercial release, no entry is needed, but here is the GB64 for you to check out! (See the readme file for more details).

In December 2021, contributor Alex got in touch via the comments to say that the readme is incorrect, and the game has three different storylines in total. Here is what Alex had to say:
“At the beginning of the game it is determined at random which one you are playing. Part 2 is actually 3 totally independent games in one. The story you solved in part 1 determines which of the 3 pair of codes you should use to start part 2.”

Thanks to Encore (Nothing to do with Elite I might add), a contributor on Lemon 64 – a range of unused sprites have been found tucked away in the game.
Ever wondered why so much was missed out of the conversion, well it seems the likes of the break dancing skaters were meant to have been…
Maybe they just ran out of space?… or just time whilst developing. This suggests that there could actually be some character based assets hidden away too, so if we find anything we’ll report it back here.
