Another V1 title, with an interesting story behind it too! It was always wondered by Andrew Fisher if originally Antony Crowther’s “Challenge of the Gobots” game was something else before. Well we now have confirmation thanks to Andrew that the … Continue reading
Another of Andrew Rodger’s planned games during the C64’s demise. This was to be released on his own Robotronics label. Sadly the game was never to be, and apart from a single mention in Commodore Format, there was nothing to … Continue reading
Molecale was to be an arcade shoot-em-up to hopefully be finished by Video Images back around 1988/89 time. The name of the game was coined by Wayne Sheardown, who was originally part of the Video Images gang of four – … Continue reading

Yet another title which suffered from the death of the C64 in the early 90’s. Monster Business was a promising mixture of Bubble Bobble and Dig Dug combined with modern day game elements to bring it into the 90’s. Two … Continue reading

1994 Trimark Interactive / Software Creations Platform: Super Nintendo As you’ll soon begin to discover, there are many times where games are fully completed, but strangely never allowed out of the doors. Moto-X was one such casualty that was completed … Continue reading
