Our next GTW entry comes in the form of a Slapfight style vertical scrolling shoot-em-up which was being produced by Paul Hughes.
It isn't known if the game was being produced for Ocean, or any other company. We assume it was Ocean.
The game name was critisised by Paul himself, and feels it was quite crap. Not sure if the game name would have been changed somewhere down the line.
The game seems to have been very near completion, if not completed, with Paul not currently giving any indication that it was not complete. We are currently not sure why exactly the game never got a release.
Paul gives hope by stating that the game is most likely on a few ST disks in his parents attic, and once he gets a chance, he will be having a dig through and converting the remains for us to put
out and show the world.
Recently we had confirmation from Paul that Dawn Drake did all the graphics, but sadly these were lost when Dawn sold Paul's C128 setup to Martin Holland who sadly passed away in 2003.
A nice sounding game with a lot of promise, and one we hope to find out a lot more about soon!
More
research needed!
