A possible vapourware title which has been brought to our attention by Richard Bayliss, who made a very good point that it was odd about there being a Sidewinder 2 game for the C64, but nothing of the original game. … Continue reading
A short entry for yet another Kele Line title, and one which at this stage we know little about. We have learnt about the title thanks to contributor Henrik Matzen, who had a bunch of Kele Line related materials and … Continue reading
Following on from the early screens from the original Silly Putty post (released as Putty), here are more, but this time from the sequel that would eventually become Putty Squad.
Thanks to Ross Sillifant for bringing a number of unreleased Amiga game screens to our attention, we also spotted some early Silly Putty screens and thought we’d add them to the archive.
Issue 49 of Your Sinclair featured a news item on Virgin Mastertronic’s plans. Included in them was a license of the Marvel Comics’ character the Silver Surfer. All the other titles listed made it onto the C64, but very little … Continue reading
Our next title is a graphic text adventure that was being produced by St. Brides and was started as far back as 1985. Featured in issue 45 of Sinclair User in particular when the School team was working on a … Continue reading
A slightly dodgy entry into the GTW archives which was highlighted thanks to contributors @DanTilert and @tommixhelsinki. Swedish magazine Datormagazin ran a short article on porn games in 1987, and within the article as the mention of a game called … Continue reading

Date unknown – Audiogenic Platforms: Unknown A short entry for now for a title flagged up by contributor Niklas Lindholm, which was a licenced game based on the legendary footballer Sir Stanley Matthews. The game was mentioned by Audiogenic’s Peter … Continue reading
‘Life on Planet Srexis is threatened!’ so starts the blurb describing the OIC Ltd game Sixers. The game is a grid based puzzle game but little more is known, simply because it is not known if the game was ever … Continue reading
A quick entry, but this educational game was advertised early in 1984 in a few magazines as a list of games coming soon from Comm*Data / Channel Software. Click here for advert And it seems the game was infact released … Continue reading

I’ve always found it bizarre that US Gold’s Skweek game never saw a release on the C64, even though it was released on the 16-bits and also the Amstrad CPC. The game was a cool tile based puzzler which was … Continue reading
A short entry for a title that was briefly advertised in Commodore Format, and in particular issue 22 back in June/July 1992. There were no details apart from listing the game as available for £5.00 on tape, and £9.99 on … Continue reading
