Based in Cairo, Egypt, our team of researchers and collectors documents cancelled titles, prototype builds, and vanished promotional materials before they disappear forever.
Read Our StoryNo clickbait, no shortcuts — just careful, source-driven preservation journalism.
Every article traces information back to original developers, period press scans, retail listings, or verified community finds — not secondhand rumor.
We write for people who care deeply about console history, not for ad impressions. No affiliate spam, no listicle padding, no manufactured outrage.
Documented entries follow a consistent format — platform, region, known build status, and historical context — so the record is genuinely useful, not just readable.
Tips from collectors, developers, and regional gaming communities around the world — including an active readership across Cairo and across MENA — regularly surface new findings.
We publish fewer, deeper pieces. A proper retrospective on a cancelled Konami SNES title deserves more than three paragraphs and a thumbnail.
Running since 2012, the archive has grown into one of the more thorough independent records of lost and cancelled console-era projects available in English.
I'd been trying to track down any documentation on the cancelled Sega 32X port of that Treasure brawler for two years. Your archived developer interview from 2014 had the only concrete answer I found anywhere. Bookmarked immediately.
What I appreciate is that the prototype entries actually cite where the build came from and who documented it first. Too many preservation sites skip that part. Yours doesn't, and it makes a real difference for anyone doing serious research.
Stumbled onto the piece about unreleased Mega Drive titles from Brazilian third-party publishers and spent the next three hours going through the related entries. The regional coverage here goes much deeper than I expected.
