Now for a start, we're not 100% certain if this was intended for release on the actual Hi-tec label, as you will find out below.
Wonderball has been floating around for a while and is a simple platform game with a ball that bounces around platforms. Coder Stefan Toftevall started the game when he was just 16yrs old and finished the development. After being part of several groups, Stefan got in touch with a guy called 'Per' who was apparently a person who had some contacts with a game company who could help Stefan get his game released.
Sadly Stefan heard no more from Per, and many years later the game was found on the web with copyright listed to 1992 High-tech Software. Stefan therefore believes tha the game was given to Hi-tec software to try and release it behind Stefan's back.
It seems that Per failed in the attempt though if this was the case, as David Palmer was not aware of the game and Hi-tec went under anyway in 1992.
Overall Stefan never got paid for any of his work, but it seems luckily no-one made any money out of his work either. What exists on the web is believed to be everything of the game, and complete. No more of it exists.
Stefan has kindly given his Creator Speaks story, so take a read and then download this cute little game...
Case closed...
