Not so much a title as the year this unfinished game was worked on, Game 94/95 was a project by the C64 sceners Carrion and Zephyr, the latter from a group called Inflexion Development that dissolved in 1993.
According to Carrion, who has posted two screenshots of the game on the C64 Scene Database, the game would have been a shoot-em-up in the vein of the famous Galaga. The screenshots represent in-game graphics that would appear every four levels.
The first screenshot shows an alien landscape, the second showing a castle set atop a mountain, with a pair of eyes floating in the sky behind it. Both screenshots show a power bar and a life meter, along with an image of your character.
It was presumed that nothing else remained of the game, or we could expect that Carrion would have posted it with the screenshots. However, Carrion mentioned that there is the possibility of more screenshots and screen tests of baddies and various bits and pieces.
Given the high quality of the screenshots it would be a shame if nothing else existed, if the arcade section of the game captured the same quality and atmosphere the screenshots create then it could have been something special. It is not known how much code was ever done for the game, but we hope to find out soon.
For now though, it looks to be an open and shut case.
Go check it out...
