Games That Weren't

We're thrilled to announce that after 30 years, Return to Blacktooth is now available for Amiga & Atari ST! We've added a generous 25% launch discount, too! Amiga: thalamus.link/rtb-amiga Atari ST: thalamus.link/rtb-atarist #HeadOverHeels #FrontPorch #RetroGaming

With huge thanks to Chris Wilkins (Fusion Retro Books) for the loan of Archer’s disks to preserve and permission to add executables to the site and Alan Hammerton for hardware help.

Early IK+ prototypes and assets for Atari ST (plus a curious Amiga build) added to Games That Weren't today. Unused effects, sample finds and a wealth of graphics uncovered. Take a look and let us know what you spot:

Devious Designs. Wonderfully complex #C64 puzzler by Pete Baron (Myth + Salamander dev), with graphics by Bob Stevenson. Cancelled when focus switched to #Amiga + #AtariST editions, the near complete #C64 edition was recovered by #GTW back in 2006. gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/devious-…

Now the presentation that I was most excited for: Jamie Fenton at MGC 2026! youtube.com/watch?v=uCGetM… @chigamespace helped put this together as well as had a Dave Nutting-themed museum at the event. Jamie's awesome and Paul leads her through some of her best stories.

A look at Ragnov, an unreleased Amiga title from Softeyes that never made it past demo stage, but went on to inspire parts of Hoi and beyond. A fascinating early project by the creators of Moon Child: gamesthatwerent.com/2026/05/ragnov/

Early screenshots of Scrap Brain Zone had diagonal conveyor belts different to the final game. We can now see them via the prototype, and can see they're VERY unfinished. Via the HiddenPalace.org release.

Apparently an Amiga CD32 version of MegaRace almost got released. Find out more here ⤵️ gamesthatwerent.com/2024/10/megara…
