Very excited to play this game that by every account I've ever heard absolutely fucking sucks.

Rad for preservation though.

The Ronin game recovered

Our friends at Atarimania.com have informed us of the recovery of an unreleased text adventure for the Atari 400/800 called The Ronin which has been missing for 39 years. A game that was intended for release eventually by Brøderbund Software, who had acquired Synapse Software at the time.

Codemasters' C64 platformer Stuntman Seymour was converted for Amiga in 1992 but the Amiga version was never released, or even announced. Developer Ash Hogg found a floppy in his archives with what he's almost certain was the final, production-ready binary on it and has passed it on to Games That Weren't.

Out of the Vortex for the Sega Mega Drive is a brawler adapting a comic book series, as was the style at the time. (I recognize X but not the other three heroes.)



Hidden Palace posted an earlier build back in 2022, but this is a near-complete one.

Lost NES Game From Ex-Rare Developer Rescued After 38 Years

In it, players were in control of a green slime on a moving cylinder and had to shoot a bunch of other coloured slimes that were being dropped from above. The twist, however, was that every time the player moved, the cylinder they were on would rotate, causing enemies to shift their position on the screen.

As Edwards states, the game was previously only known to a few close friends of Proctor, as well as Tim and Chris Stamper, who may have provided feedback. It was only 60-70% finished when it was abandoned and was in a pretty bad state when it came to Edwards, requiring a deep clean of the disks to get it read.

It's unknown at the moment whether a ROM will eventually be dumped online so people can try it out for themselves, with Edwards claiming he plans to turn the game back over to its owner when he's finished recovering and archiving everything on the disks.

It's the 40th anniversary of the release of the original Elite, and co-creator Ian Bell has released various source disks, including unfinished prototypes for a SNES port and an Elite 2 that isn't the one that eventually got made.

I'm guessing this means they're not binaries and you can't actually run them in this state, but I'm sure somebody will get on that.
