A rare sight of the game.

 
 
 
 
 

Yet another Cinemaware game which never quite made it on the C64. This time a mobster game based in Chicago, and following the same style of play as with the other Cinemaware releases.

As with the SDI title, King Of Chicago was advertised in the various computer magazines, and is rumoured to have had a C64 screenshot present. This needs to be confirmed.

The game was fully completed and released on the Amiga, though the C64 conversion sank without trace. Again, this could have been due to Cinemaware moving away from the 8-bit market and fully into 16bit.

Credits are currently unknown, but it is assumed that the same guys behind Defender Of The Crown and Rocket Ranger would have been behind this too (And SDI).

More research is needed, but so far Paul Koller has uncovered a rare screenshot of the game on the C64... and it looks as if it would have lived up to the same graphical qualities of the other Cinemaware C64 releases.

Does anyone know any more on this game?...

Frank.
