Keith Purkiss was a regular games creator on the Commodore 64 back in the mid-late 80’s and early 1990s, and also created a few games under the pseudonym of Pakman for titles like Dragon Spirit and Little Puff. During his Probe days, he worked on the likes of Tiger Road, Rygar and Lazer Tag which would be released by U.S. Gold / Go!
Although in touch for a few years now, Keith reached out in 2024 after digging out all of his work disks. These would contain unreleased titles such as 666 – Number of the Beast, Aladdin’s Cave, Apprentice and a completely different version of Wacky Races. The links for these pages go to the individual entries we have set up that talk in more detail about those titles.
However, Keith had work disks for all his other released titles and wanted to see them fully preserved and a page created to share and host them all (including any source code). Games That Weren’t has therefore preserved all of Keith’s disks and you can download them for yourself below. Many are the same as the final retail version, but there are a few earlier prototypes to be found with Dragon Spirit and Little Puff with very slight differences. Let us know if you spot anything majorly different anywhere!
We hope you enjoy Keith’s work and a huge thank you to Keith for allowing us to preserve and share his work disks with you all.
