Games That Weren't^®

Another Jon Wells title which sadly seems to have got lost along the way. I first read about City Bomber whilst Jon was wrote a special diary for Commodore Force. As well as working on “Escape From Arth”, Jon was … Continue reading →

Not much too say about our next entry in the database, with what seems to be a very early and simple beat-em-up with some nice looking sprites. There isn’t much to do though apart from move the main character and … Continue reading →

I like City Invaders – it is a neat sort of Pooyan clone with a cool main character who pops their head in and out of building windows trying to stop the city invaders. There isn’t too much to the … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →

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 →
