Thanks to Peter Weighill for the heads up. This entry is a collection entry for a bunch of educational titles that were advertised by “Little People Software” in the 80’s in America, but don’t seem to have surfaced just yet. … Continue reading
Well, this entry may not come as much of a suprise, especially now you have learned about how the actual released game came about. We all talk about Aquablast as being what Live and Let Die used to be, but … Continue reading
This was to be yet another Liverpool licenced football game, but a budget title. Strangely this was announced at a similiar time to when Grandslam were working on their first Liverpool game. Where as Grandslam signed the entire squad for … Continue reading
Wasn’t Liverpool The Game released in 1993? Yes, it was – but it seems that Grandslam had a previous version underway in 1989, a long long time before its eventual release. But what a difference though between the two! This … Continue reading
Ok, its not a game as such, and a rather odd release from Martech planned back in 1985. Living Body was to be an educational game teaching about the body, based on a CH4 documentary. It was mentioned and confirmed … Continue reading
An interesting conversion which never seems to have got much spotlight, but was indeed a C64 conversion in the workings. Confirmation made by the screenshots printed in Commodore User magazine back in the time. This was kind of a cross … Continue reading
A game which sadly could be lost forever… This was a title by Artur Bujdoso (Who created Marbloid which is also in the archives) that was mimicking "Dynamix" and "Compunet". The game got to a kind of "playable preview" but … Continue reading
Boom Software had a number of titles advertised in 1984 for the Commodore 64, including this game. From what we can see, this game seems like it does exist, but is yet to be preserved – being in the C64tapes … Continue reading
A very short entry to highlight a currently missing title which may or may not have been released. Possibly an education title with the LOGO language by No Man’s Land, was it completed or released? Can you help us find … Continue reading
A very quick entry for a title which may well have been released, but is yet to be preserved. The advert describes the game as follows: “Invest your money in any of the 233 Companies-Commodities and attempt to gain a … Continue reading
A bit of an interesting entry this time, and a game which had some brief involvement from Jon Hare in his pre-Sensible days doing graphics in various bit parts for games. Lone Wolf seems to be part of a series … Continue reading
Even though this game made it out as a graphical text adventure, Lord of the Rings was to also be a RPG version of the game which was to be made as the last phase of C-64 releases by Interplay. … Continue reading
Thanks to Peter Weighill for highlighting yet another C64 title that seems to have got away. Lordlings of Yore was a strategy game that was released on the Apple II and seems to be available, but the Commodore 64 version … Continue reading
Yet another C64 conversion of a Cinemaware game hits the GTW archives, and this time another classic in the form of “Lords of the Rising Sun”. Very similiar in style to Defender of the Crown, Lords of the Rising Sun … Continue reading
“Pursued by a band of cut-throat nomads, you stumble across an ancient map, showing the position of the mythical diamond mines, the lost caves. For almost a thousand years explorers and archaeologists alike have dreamed of the legendary lost caves … Continue reading
Not really an unreleased game, but some bits and bobs that could be nice to save if they still exist. Looking at the preview screens in Zzap for the 3D Construction Kit, as well as an earlier editor kit, there … Continue reading
A great article has been published regarding the unreleased Jack The Ripper for Amiga and with mock-ups for an abandoned online version for PC. Thanks to https://mastodon.world/@mr_creosote@dosgame.club for sharing. https://goodolddays.net/en/game/Jack-the-Ripper/
Ok, so we’re not talking about a majorly different conversion that was in the works, but some fairly significant differences compared to the final edition that eventually ended up on the C64. Many of you may remember the rolling demo … Continue reading
Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 is a great 2 player split screen driving game, and seeing the sequel is enough to make any user excited. The other versions were breathtaking, and the C64 version was apparently shaping well according to rumours. … Continue reading
A quick one again we’re afraid!…. very limited knowledge on this one, but mentioned in an interview with Antony Crowther, who mentioned that one of his first dips into commercial game programming was for a company called Superior Systems and … Continue reading
