Games That Werent Adds New C64 Prototypes

For retro fans in Britain, the latest update from Games That Werent is another useful step for Commodore 64 preservation. The database now includes four new unreleased C64 games and prototypes, alongside 22 updated entries.

The new additions are Dungeons and Magic, The Sanctuary, Thunder Light, and Trap Mission 4 Soccer Sims V1. The updated entries include 7 Minutes To Midnight, Rebelstar 2, and a deeper look at Orbyte Software titles, with fresh screenshots, code snippets, or developer recollections where available.

Games That Werent says this work is part of an ongoing effort to document software that never reached shop shelves. The site’s latest update also points to new recoveries coming very soon, which suggests there is still more unreleased 8-bit material to catalogue.

The Commodore 64 had a strong place in British home computing, alongside machines such as the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC. That made it a busy platform for bedroom coders, publishers, and magazine coverage, but it also left behind a long trail of unfinished projects and lost code.

For readers following retro news, the update is a reminder of how much of the C64 story still sits in archives, old disks, and private collections. If you want more stories like this, keep an eye on our News tag, and for the source material, see the original Games That Werent post.
