Unreleased games for Amiga
« on: December 17, 2003, 04:28:05 PM »
I've just read the first issue of Apov, what a brilliant and professional magazine... really a great work,
inside there's all the spirit and humor of the '80s-'90s amiga mags. The advertisements are very well scanned, they look like new. There's also an ad for an upcoming game, based on Lord of the Rings :-?

I was very interested in the Liquid  Kids article, knowing that a preview of that game finally exists, and the idea of making an Amiga Games that weren't webpage is also great, after seeing the c64 one I was hoping that someone would have done the same fo Amiga games. I've seen that an "under construction" page already exists at http://agtw.abime.net/

There are quite some  games that were never released, I recall Retro (Core's speedball clone) , Planetside, an italian Out of this World clone... Do you recall other titles?

the list will be huge....

as from 94 till 2003 its like WOW! many games that was canned even if they was finished, mainly due to getting an publisher + the publisher warning them about expected numbers to be sold...

on cd32 there is over 40 unreleased games as far as i know...

Whats up with all the hate!

the lord of the rings game will just be a workover on the amiga classic game, i expect so anyway as the screenshots seen so far is identical to the old game but has a picture from the movie instead of handrawn pictures...anyway i am looking forward to this freebie of an game..

Putty Squad and TFX were two that come to mind.

Well, TFX has been released in 1997; regarding Putty Squad I've read somewhere that the programmer has been contacted and that he would try to find the disk with the game, I still don't know if the game has been found.

I remember some cd32 games from graftgold not being released, like virocop. Also possibly Turrican 3 for CD32 has been never released. But there are much more older games that were only previewed on mags.
