Electric
Boys didn't just have the main plans to do games such as Flashback
or Defensive, but EBES did have other plans which originally were
told to the public through the disk covermount of Commodore
World, which EBES imported for UK readers.
Bak
Pakker
was one of these games which EBES were to take and update. Including
amazing new graphics, music, super smooth scrolling and attackwaves.The
plan was to include multi-hires sprites and amazing graphical
backdrops.
Nothing
much else was planned and in the end it was all but words as EBES
fell to the fate of no support, as did many trying UK companies.
All
that exists today is the original game which Russ
Michaels had planned to convert, an unofficial version
of Jetpac which roams the internet. This preview has an added
note, mentioning the game's plan.
The game was also known in some EBES notes as Super Jetpac - Bak Pakker could well have been the working title for the game.
To
give Russ full credit for his efforts (Which was immense at the
time), it was a shame that EBES did not make it.
A
good idea, but an idea it will all but remain... Case closed...
Frank.
