A
ace game, unofficially known as Katakis
2, with the programmer none other than Turrican god Manfred
Trenz.
Packed
to the brim with amazing power-ps, great backdrops, epic soundtracks
and incredible parallax scrolling, it's a real shame this one
never made the shelves over here in the UK.
It is an amazing game.... just remember the Turrican 2 space levels,
and this is what you get in more power and capability. Its stunning,
and amoungst the greats of Armalyte and Lions Of The Universe...
Its just a shame it never got a worldwide release to give it the
recognition it deserves.
Although
officially released by Double Density
in Germany, all of Manfreds game's were released in the UK (I
think?), so in a way this feels like a lost game to the commercial
C64 community.
Simply
this game was intended as a final hurrah on the C64 by Manfred,
as he worked on the back of various console projects. It made
Manfred a little bit of money on a classic formula which was so
successful in his previous shooters, and from the levels of Turrican
2.
Take
time to enjoy this stunner...
Frank.
