1994 SEGA Platform: SEGA Mega Drive Please note that this is just a quick placeholder post, where we have split up an old post which flagged up 3 entries. The original text that follows is from our old team member … Continue reading
A huge hit on the MegaDrive and other SEGA systems. In the early 90’s, SEGA signed a deal with U.S. Gold to allow them to convert their titles to other computer systems, with titles such as E-Swat and Alien Storm … Continue reading
Back in the days before SEGA’s trusty blue mascot appeared on the scene, the company would licence its various games to the likes of Activision, and U.S. Gold – resulting in conversions of Afterburner, Outrun and many more for home computers of the time. Continue reading
Originally we didn’t know a great deal about this game, only that it would have been the sequel to the released game and featured more from the popular series. However, news has recently surfaced on the World of Spectrum about … Continue reading
Sophistry is not to be confused with the other entry within GTW which was for Hewson and a Quix clone. CRL’s Sophistry game was to be a isometic 3D game in the style of Bobby Bearing, and recieved glowing reviews … Continue reading
This was one of the first games to be released by newly set up team, Arcanum developments. This team consisted of Mark Kelly, his brother, Robert McGowan, Barry Leitch and Alan Mac. The game was being done for Hewson, and … Continue reading
Thanks to contributor Chris Hester, who flagged up an old piece that he wrote possibly for his magazine Adventure Coder. Sorderon’s Shadow: The Legend of Elindor was a title by Nick Eatock and Simon Welland that was a sort of … Continue reading
Potentially this was originally thought of as vaporware until we had received confirmation that it wasn’t. This was thanks to early adverts for Space Ace by Empire/Readysoft, which reported a C64 version as coming soon. Additionally though in recent times … Continue reading
Space Ball is a simple but neat puzzler game, slightly similar to Sensitive in some ways – where you bounce on a set of tiles. As you move though, holes appear around you rather than behind/under you and you have … Continue reading
1993-1994 Imagitec Platforms: Atari Falcon and Jaguar, Sega Mega CD, Amiga CD 32 and PC As we moved into the 1990s, games were becoming far bigger and bolder – especially with emerging new data storage options for consoles and computers. … Continue reading
A short entry for a title which may have been started on the C64. Space Max was a space based strategy game which was released on the PC and Amiga platforms, but at the end of PC Joker magazine, there … Continue reading
An interesting title which could well be crossed off the list very early as a hoax, but should be reported anyway due to its mention in Issue 19 of Commodore Format. Space Monkeys was potentially Commodore Format’s duff April Fools … Continue reading
Boom Software had a number of titles advertised in 1984 for the Commodore 64, including this game. We know very little about this particular title apart from getting a very generic description from the advert itself. Compared to the other … Continue reading
A very short entry for now for a game that was one of many that never quite made it from Crystal Software back in the later end of the 90’s. Space Rogue seemed to share a lot in common with … Continue reading
1982 Commodore Platform: Commodore Vic 20 Commodore had released many clones of arcade games on the Vic 20, and this was to be no different. A clone of Phoenix, but one which was never to be. It is believed to … Continue reading
Released on the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC, Spaced Out was a puzzle game that was produced by Steve Cain and John Gibson back in 1987 for Firebird Software. The game had a mixed reception, but was a good solid … Continue reading
Advertised in BigK magazine, Spacestation Alpha was sadly another title which was never to see the light. The C64 version was stated as coming soon. The game was described as follows on the advert: "A graphical space battle – The … Continue reading
A short entry for a potential sequel that has been flagged up to us by Jazzcat. This sequel to the classic Firebird budget title was mentioned in a preview release, where artist Per Madsen says to “Look out for Special … Continue reading

Another game which was said to be released from Kele Line in 1987 (Mentioned in Soft magazine). It is another title from Kele Line which we know little about, but we can guess what happened to it anyway. Maybe it … Continue reading
