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!

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
