A
bit of a shock finding from Visualize Software
late in 2004..
Upon
digging out some disks, Kenz stumbled across some demos by Jon
Wells, which included this interesting little preview called
"Parallax Preview".
This
was thought to have been a working name to start with, as the
game is at a very very early stage, and features a simple ship
over a parallax landscape.
The
demo seemed to have been the testing ground for another new Jon
Wells title, following along the lines of his ex-collegue Paul
and his Deadline title.
The
preview just features the scrolling landscape, and a ship that
can go in both directions. Music from Last Ninja 3 accompanies
the game just as a test. It's nice in its own way, but it's no
Solar Jetman. (Nor Daffy Duck for that matter :) )
Jon
has recently confirmed to us that this was infact a test routine
which would have actually turned into a game at some point. So
really we don't have a game as such for this entry, but the beginnings
of a game that just never got concieved. There is no more to find
of this game this means.
So
for interest value, take a peek at something you never knew about
until now from Visualize...
Case
closed...
