Not worthy probably of individual entries, some of these may exist - but RR Software was one of the companies who popped up in a bedroom when the C64 was dying - very much like Visualize or EBES.
The company ran by Rowan Veale was ambitiously trying to release a series of games for the C64 to keep the machine going. This was whilst him and his brother were in their teens. Nothing much was known about the company, and it wasn't until Commodore Cracker did a piece on them to shed some light....
"Last month I did a small piece on R.R. Software. Now Rowan Veale, the man behind R.R. has sent me a proper article on his new C64 company. So here it is, straight from the horses mouth so to speak....
"R.R. Software is a new software company for the Commodore 64. We are currently programming our first games due for release in March 95. We are always on the lookout for new games to publish through R.R Software, so if you have programmed a game then send it to us and if we think its good enough we'll publish it for you on some excellent terms. Our first release "Deep sea world" will be out in March and features at least four levels of baddie killing shoot 'em up action. Future releases include: "Insect World", "Jurrasic World" and maybe "Doom in the Dead Sea", a text adventure or two and "House of Horrors". These games will probably be just £1.99 each on tape or disk and £3.99 on Microdrive Wafer."
The release schedule was as follows:
Deep Sea World -- March -- £1.99
Drack Attack -- May -- £2.25
Doom in the dead sea -- TBA -- £1.99
Insect World -- June -- £2.25
Jurassic World -- TBA -- £1.99
Jungle World -- TBA -- TBA
Arctic World -- TBA - TBA
Dimentional Warrior -- TBA -- £2.50
Little Dome Folk (Unknown)
Dinnamick Donkey Duo
Elusive
It is suspected that all of the games were SEUCK efforts and many were never actually started. A few we believe were complete and it is hopeful that Rowan will get chance to dig them out for us.
We have been in touch and apparently these should be on disks in their parents attics. It is something we hope we can preserve one day. More soon we hope! Frank. |
