Firefighter Mario on the Commodore 64... yes, really. An early unofficial Mario game from before Nintendo stepped in. Reportedly released - but no physical copy has ever been found.

Very sad to see Philip Castle has died. He painted the iconic artwork for the original Elite:

A new week, and another recovered Amiga prototype today with Maximum Overdrive. A racing game based off the ShockWave engine and was used to obtain a few contracts. A nice technical demo that sadly didn't get too far and had plenty of promise. gamesthatwerent.com/2026/03/maximu…

Thanks to Bertrand/AtariMania, we have added an entry for a set of Merlin Enterprises games from 1982-83 - intended for release for Atari 8-bit, Apple 2, Commodore VIC-20 and Commodore 64. All are currently missing. Can you help us recover them? gamesthatwerent.com/2026/03/merlin…

Old STOS project. Maybe I'll be able to get back to it. I've got a plan while the coders are asleep ;)

Freaked (1993) is a showcase for insane practical makeup effects. Directed by Alex Winter and Tom Stern, the film leans heavily on elaborate prosthetics and creature designs that turn every character into a bizarre mutant creation.

Played this modern ZX Spectrum 128k game today. Has amazing graphics. Took ages to load from tape.

Heard that Microsoft was in need of a new company name & logo after all the Microslop shenanigans! So here you go!😁

@RetroBrothers They were, was always excited to see the Odin logo on a game! I am going to have to check out Arc of Yesod soon too! 😁

@_GearsofGames_ Odin were a classy outfit. Arc of Yesod and Heartland were also excellent 👌 I'd like to play them again, red astronaut and all 😆

If there was ever a platform that was perfect for Elite.. then surely THIS is it! Right on commander! 🫡

@RetroBrothers It really is, had a lot of fun with it and looks great! But I got some horrible flashbacks when I saw that red Astronaut again! 😁

@_GearsofGames_ A lovely game

We take a look at what may have been a SEGA Mega Drive conversion of Konami's Aliens, which was first flagged by Jaz Rignall to a reader in Mean Machines magazine. Sadly it was never to be - so was a conversion ever started, and if so - can it be saved? gamesthatwerent.com/2026/03/aliens/

These character graphics are absolutely beautiful. Dark Legions (1994), MSDOS
