Re: Lost Games
From: Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] What ever happened to the F16 Simulator. Obviously it never got released, but it did get to the demo stage (does anyone have this on a DSK?). The quote from the SamCo newsletter was something like the programmer got off to a good start, but then started to some off the rails. Who was the programmer? How close was it to being finished? Was it just a number of bugs that needed ironing out? Did it actually get further than the demo? Did it turn out to just be unplayable? Does it still exist in an uncompleted state, in a box somewhere, or was all work on it lost? SamCO never got anything other than the demo :( Can't remmeber who the programmer was , but i think he was connect 2 DID , and the original Speccy version

It was the programmer of the original - David someone or other Couldnt write the game quick enough iir - and he had too many bugs in the game. Gave up if i recall. Kaboom - still waiting for Wayne to finish - he's supposed to have promised to finish it after Driver was done

I've asked if anyone had the demo of this before, but no-one seems to have it - surely someone got that issue of YS? Gavin

David L wrote: Kaboom - still waiting for Wayne to finish - he's supposed to have promised to finish it after Driver was done Well, for months, the only thing he apparently had to do, was the protection routines. Then he decided to sell it himself didn't he? As shareware for a fiver if I recall, despite the fact I had sent my cheque off to Fred Publishing yonks before that. I don't know if anyone sent him a fiver, but I've heard nothing from him since. Can anyone got in contact with him? Email or phone or snail mail - it would be nice if we could finally get this game off him in some form. Gavin

There was a demo of SAM F16 on YS!?!?!?!?!?!?! I'm sure I would've remembered that since I loved flight sims and the only YS I didn't get was the last one...

WHILE THEY STILL EXISTED! 75 issues of Fred, 30+ issues of SAM Supp, SCAC, enceladus, newsdisk etc. I think I've done my bit for the SAM.

It was on Crash - and I've sold all my tapes and mags on to someone ages ago. But it must be out there somewhere. As far as I remember, you couldn't move it anyway, and it stopped after about five seconds...
