Here is told about two games which should be published by Image Works company - Mainframe and Speedball (It is told that they are not finished for Spectrum yet).
Thanks for the reminder, biotoxin, I overlooked that link!
The two games have been added to the database, as Never Released.
I don't have any idea what Mainframe could be (sounds like a working title, Google and Wikipedia don't show it as a video game).
Speedball looks like bad luck for us Speccy users. It appeared on lots of other 8-bit systems and the pics look okay. I constructed an entry with the other systems reported, plus a Wikipedia reference.
Que Dex and Junter's Moon should also be added as never released, then - since the article mentions them as forthcoming Spectrum releases too.
On a side note, I wonder why so many titles show up as having been announced for the Spectrum but never released, although they were coded for other systems and in particular for the diarrhea-colored doorstop. Even stranger given the Spectrum's popularity.

not really, remember the ORIGINAL thalamus versions etc were normally c64..
thalamus had games that were never put out , or had stuff submitted.. and they went bust (they owed a few people money I know)
but piracy on c64 was slightly less, e.g. multiloaders... not by loads but lots would buy the games.. hence why they were hesitant...
lets face it the none c64 versions of things were s*** compared..

Bear in mind there were also a lot of Spectrum games that were going to be converted to other formats and were never released...
