'ARKANOID V1' - PRE-OCEAN VERSION FOUND!
We are very pleased to dig out a very rare finding - the Firebird version of Arkanoid, before Ocean got the licence. Firebird seemed certain to get the licence from Atari, but Taito won and then Ocean grabbed it from them...

Xmas update!
'THE BUBBLER' - RELEASED!...
After a long rescue mission, at long last the lost C64 conversion of The Bubbler has been found and released. The added bonus is that the game is fully complete, containing the loading picture, music and sfx. Developer Matt Young, Sailor/Triad and Jazzcat have been busy at work and reconstructing things into its final state, whilst compressing and bug fixing. The download contains two versions, a trained version and the standard version. All instructions are included.
Although the frame rate suffers due to Ultimate's demands on how the display worked, it is a massive finding and still as playable as the Spectrum original. It's yet another one for the archives! Go check it out!...

THE WILD BUNCH (C64) NOW COMPLETE!
Of what was almost a GTW and after just over a year of development, the C64 conversion of the excellent Amstrad/Spectrum Firebird game "The Wild Bunch" is now complete.
The Wild Bunch was a superb classic Firebird release which never strangely had a C64 conversion back in the day. Jon Wells has risen to the challenge some 25 years on, bringing along a series of additional features/updates, including new improved graphics, sound, gameplay features (Including a vastly improved Gunfight scene with speech).
The game is being sold in a limited edition form with authentically and professionally produced inlays and tape labels, replicating the Firebird original release of old, all for the budget price of £3.99 (Not including p&p).
The official release date is due sometime later this month, which will be a date set in October (TBC). The game will now be shipped with the bonus of two versions of the cover printed on both sides. So you can choose which version you wish to display on your shelf. Previews of the cover can be seen on the project website.
There is currently still a pre-order competition running for the game where 20 people can win a free professionally produced Wild Bunch audio CD. The competition will close by Midnight on Friday the 11th September, and the winners will be announced on the website by the 18th September.

'THE BUBBLER' - ON IT'S WAY!...
A bit of a surprise we hope, but coming up soon will be the complete conversion of "The Bubbler" on the C64, the conversion of Ultimate's infamous last Speccy game. Check out the ingame shot below...
In the recovery of the game there have been one or two surprises, but the biggest has to be the fact that the game was finished. It seems the only thing which stopped this one was the slow framerate, which is a shame.
Anyway... things are progressing well and we should be seeing it very soon! (But there is more to come ... something with a bit of an "Ocean" theme to it.. a disk is in the post as we speak ;-) )

'STARGLIDER 2' - COMING SOON?...
Some great news, but coming soon to GTW will be a bit of a shock ... a complete version of "Starglider 2".
You may recall the demo version which sits in the archives, but confirmation comes that it was actually completed and the sources have already been backed up. There is a potential unseen Bob Stevenson picture to go with it, and also potentially a filled vector build of the game (Albeit a bit choppy). More details coming soon - but exciting times ahead :)

This is the disk version of the game which includes various bonus goodies too compared to the tape edition.
So keep an eye out and feel free to grab the game and enjoy, but if you would like to own a professionally produced edition on tape or disk (Of which the deluxe edition on disk is superb!), then why not put in an order at Psytronik Software

'GAMMA STRIKE' FOUND AND RELEASD!...
One of our nice additions for the Christmas update is the finding and uncovering of Gamma Strike, originally a target based game that never quite made it to full mainstream release.
