D-Day
was advertised in various magazines, and was released
on the Spectrum, but also had a Commodore 64 advertised to be
coming soon. This was never to be, and the game remains unreleased.
The
game involved battling through 4 separate
scenarios, either taking control of Allied
or German soldiers, in one or two
player war game action. The
game was quoted to be more of a "Tactical challange"
than a boring arcade game. The game was set during the Normandy landings of 1944. Players take German and Allied sides through a 63 unit scrolling map.
Just
how far the C64 conversion got is unknown. The advert was all
that ever existed really of the C64 conversion, just the mention. The
only real mention of the C64 version was when it was spotted at the "LET 1985" event, mentioned in Home Computing Weekly, 26th Feb 1985. Did the guys from HCW see something of a C64 conversion, or just the Spectrum game?
Without
credits to give or anything, it will be hard to find this game...
It would be by pure chance if we find anything of the conversion,
or any more news. Unless someone knows the people behind the games
division of Games Workshop?
Nothing
really seems to have happened here...
Frank.
