Rumoured for 33 years, we have recovered an advanced and playable preview of Kevin Keegan's Player Manager for PC (DOS). Including lots of graphical assets, and remains of the lost Amiga version (with hope that too could be saved):

Not to be confused with the released Trilogy - this Legacy of the Necromancer game was a different, dungeon-crawler RPG from Virgin & Westwood for Amiga/MS-DOS back in 1992. Sadly it was never to see the light of day:

Today we're releasing a long lost proto of Tiny Troops for PC DOS - due for release in 1995 by Mindscape. Also adding a staggering 32 prototype builds from 1993-1994, when the game was originally known as Bugs. Sadly the CD32 version is still at large.

C.L.E.I.A. (Complex Logic of the Autonomous Computer Entity) was a cancelled Ubi Soft game from 1990 for #AtariST and #Amiga. Players would escape the bubble city of Cleia before a giant meteor strikes, traveling across 40 levels and 655 celestial bodies.

Aw man 😞 Rest in peace Mr Cheifet, host of Computer Chronicles: obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei...

What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

We’re now done for the year. Time to play games + catch up reading. Thanks everyone for the kindness and support this year. If you’d like to help the project recover more lost pieces of history, simply spreading the word really helps.

Take care, and all the best for 2026!

For our next Christmas update, we have Piracy Deluxe. A near-finished Amiga conversion of the C64 game Piracy that has finally surfaced after 30+ years. Cancelled after Commodore's collapse, now preserved and playable at last.

An early Christmas update! In the late 80s, Level 9 built H.U.G.E to push beyond text adventures. One casualty was Grange Murders, an ambitious Cinemaware animated detective game with multiple crimes. Canned in 1991, PC demos & assets have been unearthed!

Coming back from the "Musée du Jeu Vidéo", finally materialized by @assomo5.bsky.social after so many years talking about it, and I think @brandon.insertcredit.com @frankcifaldi.bsky.social could make a stop next time they're in Paris.
