Lost for 40+ years, we're extremely happy to announce that Stairway to the Stars (#Commodore #VIC20) - 3rd game in Mike Taylor's Magic Mirror series has finally been saved. This is thanks to phenomenal work of Tommi Lempinen & Tom Roger Skauen for #GTW

This could be huge! - A potentially first complete game recovered by #GTW for the MSU era multisystem (which evolved from the unreleased #KonixMultisystem). The emulator has to almost be built around the games recovered for it - so really excited to see what @savoury_snax can get going!

First huge surprise of the year from #GTW with Sensible Soccer for the #NES recovered! A near-complete conversion seemingly unknown until now. Missing for 32 years, you can finally play it. Go be a goal-scoring superstar hero! ⚽

Check out Harrier Strike, a cool side-scrolling shooter created for the #Commodore64 by Players Software in 1990. It wasn't released as the genre seemed tired to the publisher, but thanks to #GTW, you can play a pretty much complete game:

Still no luck finding out what finally happened to Bounce and for that matter also to Virtually Board Snowboarding II, which were - together with Kart Racing - the three launch titles developed "in-house" by #Nokia (by #Kuju actually) as evidenced by the attached magazine scan.
For VBSB2, I know at least from a former Nokia employee that the developers constantly missed milestones, but that does not really explain much. It was certainly not cancelled before July 2003, as the Nokia Academy CD from that month still lists it as a launch game.

A tough year for many reasons - so winding down slightly preparing our special #GTW Christmas posts from the 17th to the 23rd December. Including some big recoveries once more! Until then, we'll now reflect back daily on our highlights from Dec 2023 - Nov 2024. 1st post imminent!

Check out Codename Desert Storm, a cool side-scrolling shooter created for the #Commodore64 by Players Software in 1990. It wasn't released as the genre seemed tired to the publisher, but thanks to #GTW, you are able to play the full game!

It seems that some are looking forward to this with eager anticipation.
They are just waiting for the OK, Boomer.

Did you know Waterworld was once set to make waves on #3DO and #PlayStation? 🌊 But a flawed on-rails design left it high and dry. We dive deep into the full story in the #GTW book, and you can explore some renders and screenshots on our page:

Due to recent events, its a small #GTW update for July and the #Commodore64 archive. This month we have added 1 new entry and have updated 4 entries. Hope to be back to full speed again for next month and apologies for any updates sent not yet added!

Yet another #Commodore64 game has been recovered for the #GTW archives, this time in the shape of Memory Man, a nicely presented Simon clone which was due for release in 1989 and has been missing ever since, until now:

Did you know The Godfather almost hit the #SEGA #MasterSystem in 1992? Sadly, it vanished after a rough first cut that wasn't up to scratch. Building on searches in the community last year, #GTW takes a look and makes some initial breakthroughs:

@iHarbonaut shares mock-ups with #GTW of a cancelled Super Monkey Ball game that was intended for a #mobile #J2ME release in 2006. For reasons unknown, the game seems to have been cancelled very early on and may not have got past the concept stage.

Fungus 2 was a neat unreleased Players Software budget title for the #Commodore64 by Karl Hörnell. The game was saved by #GTW in 2006, then given a proper release at long last in 2021 by @BitmapSoft:

As well as games, Archer Maclean also did freelance development work during his early #Atari days, which included developing this Oil demonstration program recovered and released today by #GTW, which was used by old British Oil company, Carless.

Verhelfen materielle Überreste zur historischen Erkenntnis? Wozu würde diese Erkenntnis nutzen, wenn damit Vergangenheit verloren ginge?

After our recent post on the 16/8-bit editions of Bushido Warrior, remains of the #AmstradCPC version has been found and released today on #GTW, thanks to preservation efforts of Steve Brown. A neat oriental themed Gauntlet clone due for release in 1988.

Starsat was an isometric #commodore64 arcade strategy game, that was fully completed but unreleased - even though offered to a few companies in Australia. Thankfully, a copy was kept and shared with #GTW to preserve - so you can play the game as intended:

In der Geschichtswissenschaft lassen sich Untersuchungsgegenstände weder anschauen oder anhören noch gar anfassen. Denn das, wofür sie sich interessiert, ist unhintergehbar fort, nämlich vergangen.
In ➡ Geschichtstheorie am Werk denkt Sina Steglich darüber nach, wie Historiker:innen ihre Untersuchungsgegenstände und deren zeitliche und räumliche Konturen wählen, welche Vorüberlegungen sie dabei unweigerlich machen und wie diese die Erkenntnis beeinflussen:
