Thomas the Tank Engine 2: The Race (Amstrad CPC)

This game was never completed and/or given a public release. As a result of this, keep in mind that the developers might have used or deleted some of the content featured here, had the game actually been released.

An unreleased racing game based on the story Thomas and Bertie. The game was completed, and was to be published by Alternative Software in 1992 alongside versions for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Atari 8-bit computers, though an unresolved issue prevented the game from seeing the light of day... at least, until December 2025, when builds for these versions were eventually released by Games That Weren't.
