Henk Dekker speaks to GTW about work on Automatic Battle Computer...

"A.B.C. (for "Automatic Battle Computer") was sort of a predecessor of Metalwars that Robert and I made for the C64. It also was a shoot'em up, but with a regular textscreen scroll instead of bitmaps. Like Metalswars, it also has a large 'board computer' on the top half of the screen. And like Metalwars, the gameplay was quite boring and we also never finished it. ;-)

I'm not sure whether we ever properly released a preview/demo version of A.B.C. And I'm not sure whether it's still somewhere around on one of my tapes or disks. It might be lost completely.

I just tried a search with Google, but I didn't find anything useful on "Automatic Battle Computer". The terms "A.B.C." and "c64" result in lots of links to the famous ABC group, but nothing on the game. So it will probably be hard or maybe impossible to find anything on the game.
But A.B.C. was less interesting than Metalswars anyway."

Henk Dekker.
