The Team

Games That Weren’t is maintained by a team of 5 members, all of which also maintain a specific platform mirror of GTW for either the C64, Amiga or PC. 

Here is a brief introduction about each member, and the roles they have within the project.  We hope to get more people on board over time.

Frank Gasking (GTW creator, GTW64 webmaster)

Original creator of Games That Weren’t, concentrating as webmaster of the Commodore 64 GTW project and maintaining these portal pages.  Enjoys all things "Retro" and also does the odd bit of C64 graphic work for a few games here and there.  If there was a job in this kind of thing, he’d jump at it - Unreleased/prototype games is what get’s his goat.

Currently just waiting to get though a work project to regain some sanity and restore GTW to order!

Timo Weirich (Hosting, pcGTW Webmaster)

The webmaster of the first GTW mirror, PCGTW, Timo also very generously hosts GTW, PCGTW and GTW64 and has been a massive help with the development of the new GTW main site.  PCGTW has massive potential with such a huge base to explore - PCGTW could well be the largest mirror in the near future.  Timo needs your help, so if you are know your PC games, and in particular unreleased ones - then give Timo a shout!

Timo also is the second webmaster of the GTW portal and gives Frank a kick up the backside when he needs it. ;)

Andrew Fisher (GTW64 team member)

A long serving researcher/contributor for GTW64, Andrew has dug up some crucial information on many a lost C64 game and has helped find some long lost titles.  Andrew’s role includes digging up vital information for titles, promotion of the website, recovery of GTW titles and the odd review.  He’s a very busy man - just how he manages so many projects, I don’t know!

As well as doing some fantastic research, Andrew writes on a regular basis for Retro Gamer magazine. 

Dave Simmonds (GTW64 team member)

GTW64’s original partner in crime, Dave has been with GTW64 since the beginning and helps to find many unreleased games and also arranges for them to be fixed into a working state to add to the website.  Arranged crucial fixes for big findings such as Tyger Tyger and Devious Designs.  As well as arranging the fixing of titles, Dave has dug out much information and contacts for titles. 

Dave is very active within the Commodore 64 scene too.

Adrian Simpson (aGTW webmaster)

Adrian is the webmaster of a long awaited Amiga Games That Weren’t mirror.  Already they have seen some massive findings, such as Snow Bros in recent times, and there will be more for sure from this very promising sister site.  With the Amiga containing so many big name GTW’s, things could be interesting soon.

No doubt there is more to come from Adrian and his mirror site, including a brand new look and feel soon!

Alex Ross (GTW64 writer/researcher)

One of two new recent team members, specifically to GTW64.  Alex Ross is currently helping to review and research various GTW titles for the C64 platform (and possibly others in the future).  Alex is a great writer, and this will show in his reviews.  He is also a slight fan of Monty The Mole :)  

Alex is currently helping Frank to finally get through the GTW64 backlog which has become overrun! :)

Peter Weighill (GTW64 researcher)

Our second addition to the team is another GTW64 regular, Peter Weighill, who has contributed much information on many GTW64 titles over the years through scans and crucial credits.  Peter is not actively contributing reviews, but behind the scenes he will be helping to keep the wheels turning by providing some excellent research and findings for many a GTW64 title.

Pete also is a big contributor to other C64 projects such as Gamebase 64.

Fabrizio Bartoloni (GTW researcher/writer)

Our newest addition to the team is Fabrizio Bartoloni, who has been contributing news and information by the bucketload in the last few months for GTW that it seemed only right to give him a place on the team. A valuable member who does all the digging around and uncovers a number of gems across the internet.

Fabrizio also looks nothing like Sonic btw.
