A quick entry for a new game that has been dug out by C64 musician JCH, which was a puzzle based game due out in the early 1990s, but was just never to be. JCH produced a number of tunes … Continue reading
I remember seeing the UK adverts for Pushover, and the various competitions that Quavers ran to win an Amiga with a copy of the game. Sadly no C64 version was ever on the cards for reasons unknown, so Michelangelo Carbonara … Continue reading
A strange game which was popular on the Amiga, mainly for its wacky animation. This game featured a blue blob of putty which could mould itself into numerous shapes and absorb strange creatures to help defeat a geezer called Dazzledaze. … Continue reading

Sadly another puzzle game which I don’t have much information about. Nor do I know how to play. If I haven’t mentioned it earlier, then if anyone would care to elborate about how some of these games are meant to … Continue reading
2009 Brighty Platform: Commodore Vic 20 Often there is a sad story behind most unreleased games, and this 2009 homebrew development of Q*Bert for the Vic 20 is certainly one of them. A very promising development that was first announced … Continue reading
Another title which should have been added to the GTW archives a very long time ago, after evidence of a C64 conversion was found in a manual of a released version of the game. Q*Bert’s Qubes was a sequel to … Continue reading

Our next entry has very little in the way of clues, apart from this loading screen created by Lizard for Tim Rogers and Darrin Stubbington. We believe the screen was released on Compunet at some point, and was found lurking … Continue reading
We need a lot more information on this title, from Cory in particular – but on Cory Kin’s disks, we found a series of bits and pieces (mostly graphics) for a sort of RPG/Gauntlet looking game. We believe it was … Continue reading
Quix is a new title for GTW which has been uncovered by Jazzcat. This is a title which has a familiar style of gameplay to a level out of Terminator 2, where Sarah Connor had to escape from an insitute. … Continue reading
The famous sideways scroller R-Type was in fact released on the C64 by Electric Dreams, but a different version to what was originally planned and was being worked on. Our first real knowledge of something being slightly odd was after … Continue reading
Next up is a nice early run and gun game with some good graphics – very much like a title you’d expect to see released by Players/Rack-IT as a budget title perhaps in 1990. There are about 4 levels in … Continue reading
We are already currently aware of a very early version of RISK, which can be downloaded from here… http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=10980&d=18&h=0 However, the first issue of The Games Machine showed some preview shots of RISK, which have a slightly different panel, scanner … Continue reading
Many of you will know and remember R.I.S.K! (or KRIS! as it was later renamed, probably due to legal reasons and connection with the board game) by The Edge back in the late 80s, created by both Chris and Tony … Continue reading
Our next entry is a title that was apparently intended for Firebird, though it may have been wishful thinking. Was it ever submitted to Firebird, who in 1989/90 were changing into MicroProse software? The game itself seems to have never … Continue reading
