"An adventure of mystery and suspence, based around the London South Bank" - as described in the advert which was printed by CVG back in the day.
Old Scores is yet another adventure game, though a text adventure?... we are not sure. But if its anything like their other release, "The Magicians Ball", then we are looking at a graphical text adventure. Maybe by the same developers?... its an assumption and a lead anyway.
The advert continued to describe the game:
"Then you can settle Old Scores. Cryptic from the start. Old Scores is a mystery to everyone. Even I haven't got a clue what it's all about. So it sounds as if you'll have to play it by ear. When that little lots got your brain in a flat spin and your knickers in a twist, you'd better get yourself straightened out..."
Magicians Ball seems to be the only release which Gamebase 64 has currently found, so it seems that after the release of the game, sales were poor and they folded early on. A shame, as the game looks fairly good.
As for "Old Scores", how far did it get? Did Grant program this one?... do you know more?
