An
intriguing title by Mike Dailly,
who is better known as the creator of Blood Money and Menace for
Psygnosis... and then becomming one of the big names behind Lemmings.
This
is a title which Mike recently released to the world via his web
site, and contains all the source code. It is simply a freeze
of ZEUS ASSEMBER, and you have to assemble it yourself to get
it working. However, Jazzcat has arranged a compiled version for
you to check out too.. But for those wishing to have a look at
the source, check out the Readme file with the game from Mike
himself.
It
is an interesting looking title, from a very early working stage
. Seems to be some kind of space Combat style game. Not playable
as such, but the main character can be moved around.
There
seems to be no concept or gameplan here, but just an initial coding
idea which didn't get very far until Mike found better projects
to work on.
Recently we spoke to the game's creator, Mike Dailly, who mentioned that there was a much more complete version that sadly seems to be lost. The idea was a simple 2 player blast, like Combat, where you fire a range of weapons at each other.
It was a game being worked on when Mike was only 17.
You can read more details about Mike's work on the game in Creator Speaks. This
is sadly it, and is all that will ever be found. Hopefully Mike
might have more to say about the game soon, so we'll wait and
see...
Case
closed on this one...
Frank.
