Zo nu en dan verschijnen er op eens uit het niets berichten over oude retro games die niemand kent of nooit helemaal zijn uitgebracht en nu hun weg vinden in ROM vorm naar het internet. Vandaag zijn er twee van deze titels te downloaden, namelijk Mandrake: Shadow of the Vehme en The Phantom: Ghost Who Walks Teaser. Niet van die hele spannende games, maar toch leuk dat deze na zo'n lange tijd verschenen zijn en speelbaar via flashcards als de X5 (binnenkort recensie van) of een emulator (ook hier komt nog één of meerdere artikelen over). Alle info over deze spelen en belangrijker de download links kan je hier vinden. Dank aan Roy The RetroKing voor de tweet er over.

Development of The Phantom: Ghost Who Walks and Mandrake the Magician: Shadow of the Vehme was fairly quick, in all taking only 8 months. This was partially due to both games running on the same game engine. Mandala says that while the team had heard of the Phantom, they weren't really familiar with either of the characters. "At that time we knew that Phantom was still famous only in Australia, otherwise basically no one really remembered the character. We knew the characters by name, but we didn't know the comics, so we weren't really fans, however KFS sent [us] a lot of material so we did enough research to develop the storyline and game design. "

While the two games shared the same engine, they had slight variances in game play to suit the characters. The Phantom, for example, would have been an action-adventure game while Mandrake would see the top hat wearing magician use his powers of illusion rather than weapons to subdue foes and feature stealth elements. On his Projects page game coder Maciej Sinilo notes that Mandrake introduced some particular hurdles.
