Shoot me!

 
 
 
 
 

This old game from the 80's was the result of a creation by Kelvin Franklin who also did Zybex for Zeppelin in 1988. This is a multi-sideways scrolling shoot em up, which features a ship which flips a lot like the one from Uridium. Graphically the game is ok, though not up to the standard of Zybex.

It was believed that this game was basically an unfinished game, which is bugged and has a few glitches, but it has been found thanks to Andreas that the game infact did get a release, but only it seems in Germany under a Tynesoft/Microvalue package. We now have confirmation from Compounded that the game got a UK release as it recently surfaced on a compilation in a UK auction. See the scans from Space Vegetable Corps to see confirmation.

So far, all we have is a kinda finished version of the game, containing many bugs. We attach the version also which was on the compilation, which has little differences apart from a different background on the title screen. So we can confirm this was released and therefore not a GTW!...

Case closed! ...

Frank.
