'''''Mad''''' is a batch of Commodore 64 SID files that has been around on the internet for quite some time with no one really paying attention to it. The very vague title of it only made it harder to look for. Eventually, Frank Gasking created a Games That Weren't page on it.<ref>[https://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/mad/ Mad - Games That Weren't] Retrieved 11 Nov '20</ref>

'''He noted that the music from file 2 alongside the sound effects were composed by Adam Gilmore around either the late 1980s, or early 1990s''', but since the year on them was '''199?''', it made it seemingly impossible to pinpoint an exact date. When confronted, Adam couldn't remember anything about it, not even the company it was made for. It is assumed that it might've been developed in the early 1990s for Zeppelin, but their name wasn't attached to any of those files. Whether or not it even was a video game at all is a mystery within itself.

==Status==
It's unknown as to what happened to ''Mad''. One likely explanation may be that the Commodore 64 was a dying market at the time and releasing it exclusively on that computer would've not been a good marketing idea. It's also possible that the game might've been released in limited quantities at that time, being released by a low budget company for a budget price like ''Warhawk'', or ''Hektik''. It's likely a part of a demo of sorts that was only shown at certain events in the late 80s, early 90s, or mid 90s as demos were somewhat common even back then.

It's worth noting that the 3rd track hasn't been found in those files and might never surface again until a copy of this game, or demo surfaces. Whether or not the full version of ''Mad'' will ever surface is currently a mystery.
