Although
Pang actually did make it out on the C64, it wasn't just Arc Developments
who had a crack at producing the C64 conversion.
Programmer
of the C64 version of Speedball 2 and Turtles, Carl
Muller tried to get the licence to produce Pang for Ocean
by creating a quick demo to demonstrate that he could do it.
After
about two weeks worth of work, this reasonable attempt was created
and sent to Ocean, but the licence was turned down, and eventually
Arc Developments got it.
So
the preview was all that ever remained of Carl's own attempt for
the licence. A good attempt in its very early stages, but shaping
up.
Graphically
terrible, though Carl knocked up the graphics just to test and
demonstrate the actual game principles itself at this phase.
This
is it though... you will have to check out Arc Developments conversion,
which is all that ever happened after.
A
previously unseen prototype of Pang, all found.. case closed!
