Games That Weren't^®

A simple maze game from Lepsi I think. Quite simplistic, with simplistic gameplay and graphics. There doesn’t seem to be too much to actually do apart from run around the maze and collect the crystals. The Ball tries to take … Continue reading →

Our next entry is a title that looks to have sadly been abandoned. The Blob (working title) was slated for release in 2013 and as part of the 16KB Cartridge Development Competition that year – but never surfaced. The title … Continue reading →

An interesting early preview of a cute Creatures style beat-em-up, or at least I think it is. It’s a bit unclear what you’re meant to do, but it seems to be a 2-player game where you have to attack your … Continue reading →

The Cross is another puzzle game for your C64, which i’m not sure exactly has to be done to complete levels, but it seems like your every day C64 puzzle game. Fairly simple graphics and reused sounds, it seems like … Continue reading →

The Crystal Search was a game written by Iain Black of Zzap64.co.uk fame. It was recently brought to our attention by Hedning after a Genesis Project crack was made. In terms of the game, Iain describes it as follows: "My … Continue reading →

A quick entry for a title that is nothing more than just a few intro screens and some ripped music from Myth. The Last War Brains doesn’t give too much away about the type of game it was to be … Continue reading →

First of all, this isn’t an official conversion of the classic SNES/Amiga title The Lost Vikings, but a homebrew effort from 2016 that had an initially promising start – but then just disappeared with no more updates. The preview you … Continue reading →

Not playable this one i’m afraid.. "The Old World" is simply one to look at… with a series of screenshots which show different time periods and items to do with that time period. It’s not very clear how the game … Continue reading →

The Pinz is a cool Othello game with some neat graphics and music, being produced by Lost Generation back in 1995 time. Overall the game was looking very promising indeed, and was likely to be part of a last wave … Continue reading →
