Mockup

 
 
 
 
 

Hmmm...i'm not 100% sure about this one, but thanks to Romppainen we are able to highlight what seems to be a possible conversion of the impressive Midwinter game from the Amiga/ST. This was a strategy game developed by Mike Singleton and even in the press it was clear that this could never get a proper conversion on the C64 without some epic programming feat.

CSDB has hosted a crack by Lazer for a while now, which contains pretty much a static slideshow of C64 based screens showing gameplay and various parts of the game. Was this just a fan of the game doing some mockups?... a joke for the scene or a real conversion that never got past the proof of concepts in this demo?

Well, one thing is that we know that Midwinter was apparently rumoured as a possible C64GS title, so are these proofs from this?

It's early days - do you know more?...

For now, check out the impressive stills and judge for yourself!

Frank.
