Omega Ceti is a title that has been around for some time, possibly first surfacing on Compunet as a preview. The game is an interesting Uridium clone of sorts – which has a split screen display for two players to … Continue reading
On Table is a very simple looking Pacman clone from 1997 where you control a strange spaceship style sprite over a shaded background. It has some functional graphics, and a nice tune (which starts off sounding like Supremacy with its … Continue reading
A very simple side way scrolling shooter which was apparently being done for Markt and Technik back in 1992. Your fighter is fixed to the bottom of the screen and has no real interaction at this stage, but there are … Continue reading
Oolong is a game which seems to be based on the character from Yie Ar Kung-Fu, and when you play this early preview – its clear to see that the entire game is based on that arcade. The moves are … Continue reading
Unfortunately I couldn’t get this preview working properly, so until I can see and play it, I can’t say too much about it. It’s a puzzler, and thats about all I can say. The graphics are quite simplistic, from what … Continue reading
A graphically superb Pang clone from the publishers of PP Hammer, Ooops Up promised to beat the Ocean single screen arcade conversion, where you had to shoot various bubbles (which broke into smaller ones) until all were cleared from the … Continue reading
Our next entry is quite a nice and polished fighting game from 1987, featuring some ripped Rob Hubbard music for good measure. You can kick enemies, or shoot them with a gun or bazooka, or throw grenades at them. There … Continue reading
A Dinamic Software game that never was. Operation Neptune was a game that was produced by Narciso Quintana, who back in 1987 wanted to work within the games industry. He sent a music demo off to Dinamic, and had a … Continue reading
Unfortunately another game in the archive I couldn’t get working to tell you about. Its quite a simple puzzler, with high detailed monocrome hi-res backgrounds. I remember the preview being very poor, and not really getting me too excited. More … Continue reading
As we were looking into The Mermaid and the Crown, we chanced across a series of unreleased titles from Mountain Valley Software that was ran by Brian J Betts during the early-mid 1980s. This was one of five titles in … Continue reading
A very early game from Jason Kelk, ex-editor of Commodore Zone, and also the main man behind Cosine Systems. Orbyt is a creation from Jason’s early days as a programmer, and is a unfinished game which was to involve using … Continue reading
Electronic Zoo never produced much decent stuff on the C64, but that was to change with the stunning ‘Orcus’. A sideways scrolling shoot-em up which featured a shop with 29 (!) different add-ons on offer. Haydn Dalton informed GTW that … Continue reading
Outbreak is a decent stab at a clone of Dr. Mario on the C64, which was due for release by the short-lived C64 label Flimsoft back in 2013. The game seems to have been pretty much mostly running, just lacking … Continue reading
An exclusive look at another Cosmos Designs title you may not have heard about before. This is another fantastic looking Cosmos Designs game which has sadly never seen the light of day. We didn’t know much about the game, but … Continue reading
An intriguing title next up, which we are as of yet unsure if it was intended as an official conversion pitch attempt or was something unofficial to demonstrate the credentials of Video Images. Two loading screen variants were created, but … Continue reading
A rather yellow looking, but impressive representation of the Another World animated introduction on the C64. Called ‘Outside’, its not known if this intro was created as part of another game, or actually just as a demo part. More confirmation … Continue reading
A short entry for a title which was to be an epic role playing game for the C64. Graphics and music had already been mostly completed, but the game itself hadn’t been programmed. Development was started around 1991, and finished … Continue reading
