Did you know a traditional Super Mario platformer was once in development for the Philips CD-i? Super Mario's Wacky Worlds would have taken Mario on a bizarre adventure across Ancient Greece, Egypt, pirate ships, the Arctic and beyond before it was ultimately cancelled.

Our first big Christmas update is with an amazing recovery of the final build of Resident Evil on Gameboy Color. Hotgen's impressive conversion that got canned. This is much closer to completion, and seems completable too. Lots to discover!

The PC DOS version of 'Allo 'Allo! Computer Fun! may have been released, but no copy had ever surfaced. Until now. Preserved from original master disks for the first time from Games That Weren't:

A look back at the Robocop PlayStation tech demo created by Realtime Associates as a pitch submission. Released into the GTW archives back in 2012, it offers a glimpse at what might have been before the licence went elsewhere. Video below. #PlayStation #Robocop

What if the Acorn Archimedes had its own Star Fox? Wing Star is a 90s 3D demo that pushed the system in impressive ways, blending ideas from Star Fox and Afterburner. You can try it yourself too at Games That Weren't.

A Zelda-style game on the Commodore 64 that looks closer to the SNES than the NES. Mythos was an incredible demo hiding inside a C64 release, showing just how far it could be pushed, before being quietly abandoned.

Into The Shadows (PC, PlayStation, SEGA Saturn) - a jaw dropping 3D demo that stunned E3 1995, drawing comparisons to Quake before it launched. Then it vanished overnight with Scavenger.

Virtua Hamster is one of SEGA's more unusual lost projects. Think S.T.U.N Runner with rodents. Nearly finished on 32X, but cancelled before release, with a Saturn version never even started.

A lost Atari Lynx prototype of Monster Demolition has been recovered by the AtariAge community, offering a fresh look at this early take on what became Rampage. Featuring multiple levels and large scale characters, it is a fascinating glimpse at an alternate direction.

First huge surprise of the year from #GTW with Sensible Soccer for the #NES recovered! A near-complete conversion seemingly unknown until now. Missing for 32 years, you can finally play it. Go be a goal-scoring superstar hero! ⚽

Our next update is a special recovery of Tork for GameBoy Advance, approximately 60-70% complete (with no sound) and lots of levels. An impressive conversion, with Nebulus style and other 3D levels throughout - sadly never to see completion. Enjoy!

It's been confirmed that the #NES prototype of Aladdin that we added to the site last week was in fact an unreleased NTSC edition of the game, which is a lovely surprise and we hadn't realized that only a PAL edition had been released.
