Many moons ago in the pages of Commodore Scene, their news pages stated about a conversion of Civilization being on the cards for the C64 by Megastyle. As often with many of the PC based conversions mentioned at the time, … Continue reading →
Cola Quest is a promising and early icon-driven graphic adventure, which seems to have been in development sometime during the 90’s, but didn’t get too far. The preview that we have here just seems to have a single screen with … Continue reading →
Cold Devil is a very early platformer, which is more of a technical demo at this stage – with a a few platforms and a single enemy that you can’t interact with. It moves well and you want to see … Continue reading →
Collapsar was a cheeky little game which passed a certain resembalance to a classic Braybrook title. Not quite as polished as the original Uridium classic, it was the fact that it was a clone that scared potentual publishers off the … Continue reading →
I don’t think we can call this a game, but more of a simulation of somekind. You may all remember those "Life" sims that used to be widespread on all machines, well this is another attempt. This one is very … Continue reading →
A year passed since the death of the commercial UK C64 scene, and Commodore Zone and Commodore Scene had taken over where C-Format and C-Force had once stood. Games were few and far between, but for those reading, each new … Continue reading →
Commando Kuwait was a game released during the time of the problems in the Gulf, and was heavily inspired by Commando Libya which was quite controversial. However, both Sami and Mikko lost interest in the game, and sadly Mikko was … Continue reading →
1982 Vid Kidz Platform: Arcade As part of the launch and release of The Games That Weren’t book, we are adding assets and content that didn’t make it to print as bonus content to share with you. Within the book is a detailed … Continue reading →
Following on from the shock of Lunar Jetman being converted to the C64, you may be surprised to learn that Cookie was also being converted. Not content with doing the music for the BBC version of Cookie, and also producing … Continue reading →
2007 HarmlessLion (Previously Alten 8) Platform: Nintendo DS Cool Herders is a neat unofficial and independently created commercial title for the SEGA Dreamcast that was published around 2005. A Nintendo DS version was put into production, but was sadly never … Continue reading →
Not the same game which CRL were to release in the same year, but this was a game to be developed by Lynsoft it seems back in the day. The disk label came with "Cops n Robbers" on it, and … Continue reading →
Well, what can we say about this entry? Not a lot! – At present it seems we just have a teaser about a new game coming soon from Blue Chip, which from the looks of the graphics is a kind … Continue reading →
A kids learning game this time, featuring some weighing scales, where you have to add the numbers and perform the maths to balance the scales. Looking very much the thing was programmed in Basic, I can’t see a child being … Continue reading →
I honestly can’t see the point of this game, mainly because its so unplayable it sucks. You control a little blue blob which has to move through the maze without touching anything. But this is difficult in itself, as some … Continue reading →
A neat old school pacman clone, with disks replacing the ghosts and two Terminal City style men replacing pacman. The game is two player, and features some great music from Hunters Moon by Matt Gray. The graphics are nothing to … Continue reading →
All you will get so far with this game, is a picture and logo, with an arrow which moves, but can’t interact at all with the background. This is unplayable, and there is nothing to indicate what this game is … Continue reading →
When we couldn’t get Super Mario Bros on the C64, we instead had Great Giana Sisters or Terry’s Big Adventure, and they were lovely attempts at getting something similar. Of course, now we actually have a proper conversion of SMB … Continue reading →
Another rare sight from Apex Productions. While Creatures 2 was in development, there were a number of ideas thrown around, and one of them was this very demo. This was to be a Bonus Game within Creatures 2, where Clyde … Continue reading →
A surprise title next to put into the GTW archives – but one where sadly we may never see the full potential. Croc was to be a very very late title on the C64 from Ash and Dave – approximately … Continue reading →
Another puzzler, no instructions again… but looks as if you have to replicate a image on the right part of the screen. Graphically quite nice, the game is one of many puzzle games which saturated the C64 market. This one … Continue reading →
