The Amstrad CPC6128 edition of New York Warriors was released with both disk sides containing the first side, losing a whole side of levels! Lost for 36 years, author Fred Williams has kindly allowed Games That Weren't to release the lost full version:

It is thanks to Kevin Edwards that the game was preserved, after Fred sent his 3" disks to Kevin.

Plus - we've also added some very quick entries for the Commodore VIC-20 as well, with three missing Romox titles thanks to Bertrand / Atarimania.com
Does anything exist of them, and can they be saved?

A new unreleased Commodore 64 game preserved today with our release of Cavey - a 1992 budget platformer sadly never to be, and which featured a built-in level editor. Plenty of promise and its a huge shame it never got further! Source code included too! https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/cavey/

We've uncovered the start of a previously unknown 1991 #NES Super Kick Off conversion. Built on the original Kick Off code, it features updated titles and the beginnings of an overhaul that was never finished. Check out the prototype for yourself here!

We've been busy recently working on recovering a lost 1989 EA game - not for PC Engine, but for the #Amiga. Path of the Little Dragon is an early proto beat-’em-up done PC Engine style, and today we’re sharing several builds with you.
