Thanks to Pudva for highlighting this particular game which we were surprised to see!.... Prophecy 1: Viking Child was a semi-popular game on the Amiga platform, and was a fairly neat scrolling platformer game. It was very much a Wonderboy in Monsterland clone which was designed by Imagitec.
A preview has existed it seems for some time of a C64 conversion of the Amiga game, which is advanced to the point of having a controllable character on a single screen and some presentational graphics like in the Amiga version. There are also tunes by Guy Shavitt.
Everything seems polished enough to suggest that this was an official conversion that was being done - just why it never made it we are not sure as of yet. It might be that Electronic Zoo canned it due to the C64 dying out at the time. But how far did the game get, was there more to it than this preview?
It's still early days, but we are very hopeful that there is more to the conversion and a story behind it.
Do you know anything about this conversion?
Frank.
