Games That Weren't^®

A similar game to Ocean Conquerer by Hewson, where you control what I think is a submarine, though i’m not sure. We have found recently that the game was infact published, and also on the MSX too, so it is … Continue reading →

Our next title is another title developed by Duncan Kershaw back around 1990 with his Reflective Designs company. As with Harrier Strike, the game seems to be based on the same engine as Steel Eagle. Duncan says that the game … Continue reading →

Our next entry into the GTW64 vault is a very bizarre title that was leaked back in 1988 by Phoenix (PHX). This is a title which is based on James Herbert’s relatively less known sequel to The Rats, of which … Continue reading →

First of all… this game may have been released in Italy, but it also had a planned release in the UK and other parts of Europe. This is a football game, which in the version I have got hold of, … Continue reading →

A game which has been found out about thanks to information from Darren Melbourne. Duel is a split screen shooter which featured tons of parallax scrolling and special effects throughout. It was to be a combat game where you are … Continue reading →

The big question from the start was whether this game was really intended to be released by Codemasters back in 1991. We don’t think so, but it seems the development team may have been keen for them to do so … Continue reading →
