Game

 
 
 
 
 

A 3D Op Wolf style blaster featuring 2000 AD's Barbie lookalike Psi-Judge Anderson gunning down the evil Judge Death's zombie hordes. Unlike previous games of this genre, Judge Death actually showed your hand clasping the lethal Lawgiver (gun favoured by Mega City One Judges), though aiming and shooting was via the usual crosshairs.

Strange thing about this game is that a company called Novatrade is credited on this (full?) version ready to download. The game seems full enough. Its not a brilliant game, but for its time... it looked good stuff.

Andromedia software were actually behind the game (Based in Hungary). The main problem with the game was that they apparently used Koala Pad to design all the backgrounds, and unfortunately the C64 did not have the power to shift them around effectively. Pirahna were actually quite miffed with the conversion.

SIR was drafted in to make the graphics "Less clean", and add some graffiti around the place. SIR did do some nice Dark Judges sprites in addition to his work, but these were sadly never used.

Pirahna software sadly went under with their debts, and this game was caught up in it all. A lot of publicity went into this game, and this you can see on the Scans pages.

It's all a bit of a mess this game, but some nostalgic worth here to see.

Get blasting those zombie scum...

Frank.
