RetroRaiderJohn has made a ton of progress on his recreation of Tomb Raider 2 using the Saturn version of Tomb Raider 1, as shown in a newly uploaded video! SHIRO! exclusively has the details on how he's accomplishing it: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/26/t... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #tombraider

Remisse has patched English into the Japan-only Saturn version of Wizardry IV — and not only that, he's fixed a long list of bugs and missing content in the console port, too! Read all about it: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/26/f... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #videogames #translation

Namco Museum, like the Playstation itself, celebrates 30 years this year. And the series was never better than on the console it got its start on, thanks to Namco actually leaning on the "museum" concept as more than something to put in the title.

A nice surprise for today at GTW! Mark Kirkby of The Code Monkeys got in touch to share his impressive 1992 #GameBoy road engine prototype with us that later evolved into Road Rash. Now play the demo and check out the complete source code too! www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/game...

Cuebus and I preserved Konami Wai Wai Sōkoban (コナミワイワイ倉庫番), a keitai-exclusive #Konami puzzle game! It features characters from various Konami games. A year ago, I found the phone that this game originated on, but the screen was broken. Cuebus managed to dump it today.

New blog post time! This week's game is SD Gundam Dimension War, the least popular retail Virtual Boy game according to Backloggd.com. It's not too hard to see why that is, but at the same time, I find this game's extremely bare minimum approach to the strategy genre to be curiously endearing:

Thanks to Cuebus's chipoff dump of the 911T, the trial version of Armored Core Mobile 3 has been preserved! This is the SoftBank Yahoo Keitai version. Preloaded on the 911T, #ArmoredCore Mobile 3's trial lets you play through a few missions. (Video credit: @XLeonier)

Instead of discovering new cheat codes this week, Bo found new *extensions* of cheat codes to two shooters: Cotton Boomerang and Terra Cresta 3D! See what these augmented codes do in the latest Under the Microscope: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/23/u... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

Our next #GameBoyColor entry into the archives is a very early multi-directional platform engine, featuring a test Super Mario sprite that you can move around and with a large map to explore. We hope to learn more about it soon. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/unkn...

Paria was an Elite-inspired space sim prototype for the #Apple #Macintosh, developed back in 1990. Ambitious ideas of 3D navigation, trading, and an AI assistant never made it past the early sketch stage - but what remains is a fascinating early glimpse. www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/paria/

Continuing the addition of various early builds to released games, we're today adding three #GameBoy prototypes of Alien Olympics, with two that contain temporary music from the game Splitz and possible other differences: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/alie...

"... there’s something about Super Famicom Wars‘ simplicity, this lack of so many things that obviously suit the series so very well, that keeps me coming back for more." A new piece everyone can read on this cheerful SFC strategy game: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/17/s...

If you've never heard of Chill for the Sega Saturn, that's understandable — it was never released! But a prototype leaked years ago, and @bbayles.bsky.social found a cheat code to unlock its tracks and hidden character: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/16/u... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming

After 42 years, Imagic’s Moonsweeper for the VIC-20 has finally been preserved. Painstakingly restored by Ken Van Mersbergen (with help from Simon Rowe & Torsten Okra), Ken has kindly allowed release on Games That Weren’t today. Full story + download: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/imag...

New blog post time! This week's game is Blockids, a Breakout-style PS1 game that was released in Japan in 1996, but didn't arrive elsewhere until 2003. It has some incredible facial expressions and neat ideas, but you'd better be really dang good at breaking bricks to get the most out of it:

The first firmware update in more than four years for the MODE is out now — read about what it does for Saturn and Dreamcast owners in our story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/15/n... #sega #saturn #segasaturn #retrogaming #retrogames #videogames #mode #firmware #dreamcast #segadreamcast #ode

Descent is a vital game in the 3D space, not just in general, but also because it ran and played so well on the Playstation in your living room. If the cheaper 3D console out there could run something this well, then the era of polygon-powered platforms was truly here to replace faux 3D.

Intended as a bonus release with Tiny Troops on #PC, Duel was mean to be a small two player shooter where you must fight against your opponent across a parallax defender style background. It didn't get far sadly, but here is what we have found so far: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/duel/

Which #Sega #Saturn games sold the most in the U.S.? Did any third-party games do well? Which year was the console's strongest? Newly released charts from Circana reveal all that and more — we break it down in our story: www.segasaturnshiro.com/2025/09/12/c... #segasaturn #retrogaming #videogames

Robocop 3 was a late 8-bit title seeing release for C64 and ZX Spectrum. A planned #Amstrad GX4000 and Plus series version of the game would never surface though. Rumours suggest it was close to completion, so why was it never released? More soon we hope! www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/robo...

Stylish ninja platformer Mute Crimson has already graced modern platforms with its katana-swinging action, but now it’s been faithfully ported to the Sega Dreamcast as “Mute Crimson DC”! Oh, and the best part: it's totally free to play! 🥷 👉 www.thedreamcastjunkyard.co.uk/2025/09/mute...

The original Playstation hit American shelves 30 years ago this week. Many of its best games have basically been playable ever since, but there are some greats in desperate need of a rerelease--including these 13 games. www.endlessmode.com/video-games/...

DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX Reco.ver (大往生DX-ﾚｺver.-) was preserved by Yuuku! Only sold on December 30, 2007, this is a score competition variant of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou DX. Given how it was only available for one day, this may be one of the rarest i-mode games preserved so far.

Today we're adding a prototype of Pocket Panic for #GameBoyColor, featuring very different sprites and Graphic State titling. Originally released as part of the Bung Coding Competition 1999 - this may have been start of a tidied up budget release perhaps? www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/pock...

"Grit can look a lot like pearls from the right angle." Got a new article for everyone to read on the importance of easy, official access to a more honest and less polished selection of gaming history: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/10/g...

We have another prototype for you today, with the recovery of a late Kick Off #SNES prototype. Doesn't seem to be any major or noticeable differences, and could just contain bugs that haven't been fixed. Let us know if you spot anything! www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/kick...

Gradius Gaiden was a Playstation original, a side story for the Gradius series made by a team at Konami besides the core developers, and the result was the best Gradius to that point — and maybe since, too. Unlike so many Playstation games, the focus here wasn't on polygons, but incredible sprites.

New article on my site! OverBlood tries really hard to incorporate the 3D spaces its characters wander around into the adventure; height, depth, and distance something to consider and overcome: kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2025/09/08/o...

Released on platforms including C64, The Amazing Spiderman was a neat flip-screen platformer by Empire. Sadly #AmstradCPC + #ZXSpectrum versions never saw the light of day, even though the CPC version (albeit a preview!) was reviewed. Can they be found? www.gamesthatwerent.com/2025/09/the-...

in some genres, sprite scaling just isn't good enough, unfortunately.
