An
interesting title mentioned to us by Paul
Hughes as a title which was shown to Gary
Liddon at Thalamus, before Paul actually got signed up
by Ocean Software.
This
was to be a full screen scrolling Spindizzy
clone with tricks used to mask sprites behind isometric
blocks.
The
idea was being pitched, and progress was being made when Dave
Ward signed Paul up to produce for them, and Paul went on to create
the famous Freeloader Ocean Loader, and Jon Dunn's music player.
Sadly
this interesting title got canned as a result, and now lays dormant
on an old 1541 disk gathering disk somewhere... Just where, it's
not quite known yet.
It
is possible that one day we may see a glimpse of this game, especially
since Paul has been busy porting a lot of his sources and releasing
them.. it is very possible that if this game were found, it too
would see its way into the GTW archives.
Its
early days yet, and hopefully soon Paul will add a Creator Speaks
page to talk a bit more about this title, and give a better picture
of what was to be.
Would
it have set you in a spin?... We shall see...
