New GTW release: Pro Tennis, a very early Amstrad CPC prototype by David Bradley at Clockwize. There's not much to play, but offers a glimpse of the game taking shape before development stopped. Thanks to Dean Hickingbottom for preserving the prototype. gamesthatwerent.com/2026/10/…

A little Commodore 64 preservation today with an early prototype of Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo from 1991 added to Games That Weren't. Likely a progress build, there's no sound and potentially a few differences to the final game. gamesthatwerent.com/2026/09/…
