Welcome to Amiga Games That Weren't

Legend tells of a breed of Amiga games that never crawled out of the primordial development swamp of their early existence. Games that never stood blinking in the sunlight of the gaming world. Games that were never devoured by predators of the Amiga jungle. They are the... Amiga Games That Weren't.

Some 5,000 Amiga games were released commercially. However, there are a significant number that were never released. The aim of this site is to find out what happened to them and (if possible) allow them to be released. Expect many to be lost forever. It'll be an interesting journey nonetheless.

Amiga Games That Weren't is a companion site to Frank Gasking's Games That Weren't 64 and Timo Weirich's PC Games That Weren't sites. The data on unreleased games is primarily based on raw data from the Hall Of Light with further information discovered during investigations.
