Games That Weren't^®

Temple of Medom is an early and very strange game, where you control a bird initially flying over a landscape. Pressing fire and moving actually allows you to fly, but you can also land on the ground and turn into … Continue reading →

Terminus has some nice graphics, but the actual gameplay is very simplistic and doesn’t offer hardly any playability at this stage. You simply have to shoot the incoming enemies, which follow a very monotonous waveform – so much so that … Continue reading →

This is a title that seems to be missing at present and we believe was due for release by Novotrade. The same team that did titles such as Impossible Mission 2 and Express Raider on the C64. Now the last … Continue reading →

Although we have been adding games to the archive for many years, we still continue to see various surprises and unknowns unearthed as time goes on. There i’m sure will be many more to come still. In late August of … Continue reading →

A nice looking Tetris clone that was produced back in 1994 but sadly never got much further than its preview that sneaked out. Not too much to say apart from that it looks nice and plays ok, but still a … Continue reading →

Seems we are building quite a collection of abandoned Tetris conversions, now with the addition of yet another called Tetrix. This was recovered from a set of Hungarian disks by Csaba Virag, and was written back in 1987 by two … Continue reading →

What a nice little game…. well, preview anyway. This is a Bubble Bobble style clone, even mixed with a little bit of Parasol Stars… which we never got to see. Nice cartoony graphics, and cute little objects. Looks like a … Continue reading →

The Attack of the Blue Bomber is a great little game – a clone of Fort Apocalypse and Airwolf by Elite. You must navigate your blue helicopter through a series of tight caverns, avoiding lasers and fired missiles. You must … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →

Another more recent C64 title which may have been abandoned after an initial preview release. The Fallen is quite a neat defence game where you control an archer who must pick off an advancing army of knights. It is simple, … Continue reading →

Already creating the cult classic Wizball, Sensible Software tried to take their success even further with a new game, and with a new perspective altogether. Sensible Software decided to take a trip into the world of 3D games with an … Continue reading →

The Horsekiller is a game by Robert Olessak, which is an unfinished sequel to his game called The Galleon. Sadly, only an intro was developed for the game – but an impressive intro it is! Maybe the programmer had ran … Continue reading →
