1987 CRL Platforms: Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 A short entry for a title that we believe may have had a Commodore 64 conversion planned at some point. It seems to have been also planned for Amiga, … Continue reading
1998 Insanity Platform: Amiga 1200 A very impressive first person development for the Amiga 1200 from 1998, which was heavily inspired by titles such as Quake. The game was being developed by Czech developers Insanity, and wasn’t to be your … Continue reading
Another game for the archives, this time a title mentioned by Mat Allen, and a game by Melbourne House. This game was briefly mentioned in some magazines and a few adverts were printed. The game actually surfaced on the Spectrum … Continue reading
1994 Inter Zone Platform: DOS Our next short entry is for a strange psychedelic shooter for DOS that was due for release from a German company called Inter Zone. The only evidence of the game we have found so far … Continue reading
Yet another game at the early stages of trying to find out more. It is believed that the game was to be called Epsilon (see panels in graphics), the game being done back around 1988 time with Andrew Morris. The … Continue reading
Following on from the SEUCK based Eradicator 2 which was due for release by CDU, Jason G. Doig was working on a faster paced bi-directional vertical shooter, but moved on to Amiga stuff before it was finished sadly. None of … Continue reading
Crystal Software and Electronics were an ambitious software house trying to save the C64 gaming market back in 1997 with a large range of planned releases. Sadly it wasn’t to be, and as with other companies – it was found … Continue reading
A short entry for a title that could well have been released and sold, but perhaps in limited numbers. The game has yet to be preserved. The game is an erotic adventure game, where you are about to embark on … Continue reading
This was a rare 3D Construction Kit created title created by Steven Flanagan, who also did the title A Chance In Hell. The game was given to Mandy Rodrigous, who would put the game into her 3DCK User Groups PD … Continue reading
Another game, and one which had a full colour advert – but never actually appearing. Espionage looks like it should have been a spy adventure of some kind, but according to the Spectrum reviews of the game – it was … Continue reading
Thanks to Richard Cosner, it has been found that the game was infact completed and released. SIR’86 did a loading picture which was done just to keep the publisher happy for the time being. It seems this was unused. Case … Continue reading
Another currently missing game which may or may not have been released (highlighted thanks to Bertrand / Atari Frog) – this time in the shape of Euchre for Four, which was advertised back in June 1983 by Hutchcraft Associates in … Continue reading
Yet another football game which never quite made it, along with Thalamus’ Arsenal title. This game was in development for Creative Edge back in 1992 for a short period. So short it seemed that no code was ever started. The … Continue reading
A quick entry for a title that was spotted by Martin/Stadium64. Although there is a “European SuperLeague – Football Fortunes 2.” by CDS, “European Superleague” was confusingly a completely different title with a similar name. An interview can be found … Continue reading
Another game in the lost Psytronik game saga, sadly a result of poor support of their titles back in the C64’s dying days. Everwar was another SEUCK title in development by Alf Yngve, and was inspired by Joe Haldeman’s novel … Continue reading
Evil Garden was first highlighted to us by Lenny Bronstein, as a title covered in Power Play magazine 6/89. The Amiga version (which was released) was reviewed, which listed the C64 version as coming soon – which you can see … Continue reading
Thanks very much to Peter Weighill for highlighting this long lost game from Kingsoft. Unfortunately we haven’t got anything to show apart from a screenshot scanned in for Gamebase. It depicts a game in similiar vein to Delta and possibly … Continue reading
I’m a huge Dizzy fan, so to hear of any unreleased works by The Oliver Twins is always quite exciting. Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni, the following game was brought to my attention. Excalibur was to be a top down adventure … Continue reading
Yet more slightly different looking screenshots – this time for the C64 version of Exile, which pretty much had a different main character and panel screen in Commodore Format issue 7. It seems that Paul Docherty (thanks Rob!) was brought … Continue reading
Exod is a text adventure game by Sigmatek, and was advertised in RUN magazine in the US, where you have to explore ruined wastelands of a ghost town to the vast inner caverns of earth. The game was sold on … Continue reading
