Our next entry is a title that was apparently intended for Firebird, though it may have been wishful thinking. Was it ever submitted to Firebird, who in 1989/90 were changing into MicroProse software? The game itself seems to have never … Continue reading
A short post thanks to contributor Daniel Meléndez, who spotted Daley Thompson playing a slightly different looking Daley Thompson’s Decathlon game on the Commodore 64: Not massive differences it has to be said, apart from the panel boards and the … Continue reading
Thanks to Allan Pinkerton, who has very kindly preserved missing copies of Basic Tools, Creators Revenge (Already out there as Metamorphosis III – The Creators Revenge), Math Pack and Math Flash. They are not strictly ‘Games That Weren’t’, but we … Continue reading

Heartlight 64 is a nice early single screen Boulderdash clone created by the author of Assembloids which sadly seems to have been abandoned. Featuring some nice effective graphics, it still feels a little raw – but its perfectly playable and … Continue reading
Our next title is a superb looking Scramble development that was started around 2009 and seems to have sadly gone off the radar. I remember being stunned by the amazing looking bitmap graphics and scroller, which has the level data … Continue reading
