Game

 
 
 
 
 

A graphically superb Pang clone from the publishers of P P Hammer.

It promised to beat off the Ocean single screen game, where you had to shoot various circles which broke into smaller ones.. Very much like Asteroids.

A demo surfaced which featured a smart intro etc, but the game lacked the playability of Pang, manly because it never quite made it.

The game was too difficult to program on the C64, due to the sprite limitations, and Digital Excess convinced Demonware that the C64 version should be scrapped.

Eventually what was left of the game was released, so that Hitman could get some points as game cracking started to die out.

The preview is all of what is left of the game, and its final state on the C64... It's not that playable, but an indication of what was going on, and a little bit more than Commodore Format ever saw of the game. The intro also features some great little digi music.

Case closed... game never completed, and fully found...

Frank.
