After a fairly successful introduction, Flimbo was to be given another roll in his very own sequel called "Flimbo's Quest 2".

This was to be a five level game with massive maps including beautiful parallax scrolling, graphics, animation and game play, improving much further over the original.

The parallax scrolling was to be ditched, so the game could cope with sloped platforms. It was more of the same, but to be far more improved compared to the original game.

The Dutch developers of the sequel as well as the original, Laurens van de Donk and Arthur van Jole were still waiting to be paid by System 3 for the first game. Orginally according to speculation, it was rumoured they both decided to halt work on the sequel after non-payment of the first game, and so Flimbo 2 was shelved. Actually, Arthur confirms its close, but infact they were only offered about £1500 to do the game, and so it was cancelled.

Arther did level graphics only, but sadly these have been long lost. Only Laurens or someone else *might* have it tucked away somewhere... or something at least... but its not all lost...

Music was created and completed by none other than Reyn Ouwehand, and it is recently thanks to the guys at High Voltage Sid Collection in Christmas 2009 that we have got chance to listen to the tunes (See link at top now). Sadly there was no preview present with the tunes :-(

Thanks to iAN CooG for also supplying GTW with the correct SID file for the game (Which just has the one tune, compared to the initial release which incorrectly had more tunes).

Currently there sits a unfinished game in a playable stage, which GTW may possibly get some screenshots of and hopefully some exciting news one day... who knows. Sadly its not been good so far, Checks have been made to find the disks with the remains of the game, but sadly nothing has been found yet. Will anyone find anything?... We honestly don't know... This could sadly be
lost forever... :(

Flimbo unfortunatly lost this quest...

Frank.
