Delisted Case File #001 | Prey (2006)
A Note from the Author:Once upon a time, (not all too long ago for some of us), there were stores lined with disc cases, cartridges and memory cards. These are now old relics of the past that, at one point in time, gave our own collections a sense of ownership- and alongside that: Permanence. However, as years have passed, much of what was has been replaced. Gone are the days of Funcoland (once a giant and pioneer for the used-game resale market), Game Crazy, and other second hand retailers, with the few remaining turning to Trading Card Games and kitsch merchandise
JETRUNNER Review
It's time for parkour! Not like I'm a huge fan or anything, but I do enjoy some parkour games, and I totally fell in love with Mirror's Edge Catalyst, that one is definitely my favourite parkour game. I also played a few games that are only about parkour, with obstacle courses and time challenges, so yeah, here we are now. JETRUNNER is a new parkour game released on September 4th, 2025, developed by Riddlebit Software and published by Curveball Games.The interesting part is... we actually have a story here too! Of course it's not super deep or anything, but it's definitely more
Beyond Sunset First Impressions Review
You tired of new FPS games trying to steal all your money, dumping 1000s of god awful cringy skins that don’t fit the game’s vibe? Tired of FOMO driven weekly garbage manipulation tactics? Just want a fun, polished, fast-paced, badass motherf**ing game? Then look no further...Beyond Sunset has what you want in this dystopian era of gaming. From the first mission you can already tell this game respects your time and your wallet. No battle passes, no overpriced cosmetics, no filler. Just pure neon soaked cyberpunk action built on old-school shooter DNA with a slick modern edge. The game drops you in as Lucy,
Stuffed Review
Shooter? Spooky? Yes, but you are a teddy bear! STUFFED is a first-person shooter developed by Waving Bear Studio and published by Hypercharge Unboxed.

Here, your owner is a little girl, and you need to do everything you can to help her fight her nightmares.
Gates of Eden Review
In what is described by developer Li Create as "Doom But in Heaven", I found myself easily suckered into giving their first title Gates of Eden a shot. Boasting a gorgeous and fanciful visual style, I think this was the sweet poison that initially drew me in, like honied words for The Deceiver himself. With such a fantastic visual direction, and a very interesting pretense for a plot, surely there is a (in the exact words of the Li Creates website) "...polished and emotionally resonant experience(s)" to be had... right?What you see is what you get. A single screen, your levels that

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -
Vexwryn
I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -

Thank you so much for your insight, and allowing me to harken back to your article!
I can't thank you enough! It was a great help to have another set of eyes and input!July 06, 2026
