Retro racing fans have a rare opportunity to experience a piece of "lost" Amiga history with the latest demo 5 download of SpeedManiaX, a Super Cars like racer, that Luigi Recanatese says "is intended to represent the evolution of the game 30 years after its conception". While Aminet currently hosts the most recent version, Demo 5, which was uploaded in late April 2026, provided below is a bit of back story, as well as some gameplay footage from Saberman.
Throughout the years we've featured many lost and recovered games, this is especially true when it comes to either the Amiga or the Commodore 64. Well, today's news is a bit of a special one. As if you have an Atari XL/XE however, we've been told that the 1986 game 'Trap', which featured music by Ben Daglish, has been recovered as a prototype for the Atari XL/XE. A game whereby some have commented for the Commodore 64 version, that it requires patience to play, is rather difficult but was one of Antony Crowther better C64 games.
The Plus/4 World website has surprised us with a new recovery! As they have informed the community, that the 1989 Interplay Productions RPG has been recovered for the Commodore Plus/4 by Csory. A game that not only made an appearance on many other systems, but this game was originally created by the talents of the Bard's Tale series, Wasteland, and Battle Chess in the hope to create the ultimate role-playing fantasy. To coincide with this news, provided below is the latest footage and game info from the Plus/4 world Facebook page.
Apogee Software certainly released some great games in the 90's, games such as Monster Bash, Bio Menace and even our personal favorite Duke Nukem. Well one game you've probably never heard of is the platformer version of Duke Nukem 4Ever. That's because while the game did start its life as a side-scrolling platform shooter in 1996 by 3D Realms, it was scrapped and became lost in the sands of time. We had the pleasure of playing Duke Nukem 3D in 1996 by 3D Realms and the misfortune of playing the first person shooter of Duke Nukem Forever by Gearbox Software in 2011.
As so many of you are aware by now we love Retro games, especially games that have been lost into the ages and through these modern times have finally been recovered for many of us to enjoy. This is especially true for games such as Microfair Madness and even Daffy Duck And The Great Paint Caper. Thankfully more games are being recovered, as thanks to a heads up from GamesThatWerent, we now know that another Andromeda preview as 'Journalist', has been found and recovered thanks to Thomas Sol Sunhede and Hedning, Zynon and Whisper of Genesis Project.
