					<description><![CDATA[Fatman and Slim was to be a unique and challenging character based puzzle platformer by Attention to Detail, under their Kaboom label. Set for release on PlayStation 2 and PC around 2003 (later slipping to 2004), the game stood out at the time for trying something a little different during an era dominated by more action driven titles. <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/06/fatman-and-slim/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the latest Amiga Addict magazine, we have written a Games That Weren't article on the unreleased: The King's Ransom. What should have been an impressive follow on to ReadySoft's Wrath of the Demon for Commodore Amiga and PC platforms back in 1993. <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/06/amiga-addict-games-that-werent-article-the-kings-ransom/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[A short entry for a title called Danger - High Surf, which was mentioned in Electronic Games in December 1984 and was to be released on the Apple 2, Atari 8-bit, Commodore 64 and IBM PC platforms. The game was in 3D, with waves, mermaids, sharks and also land-lubbers. <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/06/danger-high-surf/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Bounty Hunter is a new finding and recovery at Games That Weren't, and a relatively advanced multi-screen platformer for the Amstrad CPC. The game has a main character navigating slopes and throwing grenades, and with land-mines that set off a very Raffaele Cecco-style explosion. Perhaps Raffaele was even involved with the development?

The high-score screen lists a "Raffaele", and also a "Nick" (which could be referring to Nick Jones). There are other credits though much higher up though, including a "Leo", "Nigel", "Chris" and "Jim". Is it all merely a co-incidence? <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/06/bounty-hunter/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Following on from recent recoveries of Maximum Overdrive and Solar Wind, we're adding a very early entry for a title called Tarot, which sadly didn't get particularly far in development. What is present though is a sort of Tir Na Nog / Shadow of the Beast inspired looking game with large main characters and some very atmospheric backdrops.

The recovery comes thanks to programmer Lance Abson, who recently revisited the project after rediscovering a collection of original floppy disks from the late 1980s. After getting in touch with Games That Weren't, the disks were carefully restored, imaged and preserved, with Lance very kindly allowing the recovered materials to now be added to the archives. Lance revealed in a recent video on his Lost Pixel Vault channel that development on Tarot began back in 1989 when he was just 14 years old, teaming up with game designer Jim (surname currently unknown) to create what was intended to be a large fantasy adventure for the Amiga 500. <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/05/tarot/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Streetbeat was a breakdance themed title inspired by old arcade titles such as "Breakdance", as well as TV and computer games of the early 80s. In particular, the influence of Commodore 64 titles and the style of Activision is very clear in both presentation and feel. <a href="https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/05/streetbeat/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
