Unreleased Amiga games

Just to start a thread about unreleased Amiga games (that aren't Polish ) that we have at least some information about and that aren't in HOL yet. Any info about those games is welcome

First game: Sommer Olympiade by Kingsoft

I found an ad in PowerPlay 11/1988:


It's not the same game as https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/summer-olympiad.

I'd rather not move the post as it would become the first post in the thread (because of the date), so just the link is fine

Games that weren't will come in handy indeed

watching pictures it seems a collection of single amiga games with their onw boxes and not a single pack with various games inside.
As these games are available also for DOS i found this: https://www.trollandtoad.com/toys-mo...-sierra/243228
So a triple pack, at least for dos, exists.

also on gog it exists (i think it is the same pack)

Well, the point of this thread is to sort those out that aren't in HOL yet and a lot (if not most) of the games of that old thread are in HOL now.

Thank you I've saved the advertisements for now. I'll add all of those unreleased games towards the end of the week to HOL.
