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 )

In addition to this, we’ve updated GTW64 with the following…

• Two new entries added… Halloween, Pegasus
• Phalsberg (French edition) added to archive
• Rob Hubbard confirmed as musician to a number of GTW’s… Food Feud, Pulsator, Trojan, Wolf
• Original files added to archive - Bee 52, Grell and Falla, Starburst
• Other Updates … Armageddon, Epsilon

When doing a bit of research for the C64 mirror of GTW, we got in touch with Craig Kelsall regarding any of his unfinished C64 work and got asking a few questions. In the end it seemed sensible to turn it into a small interview, and so here it is!

Craig developed late into the C64’s life, working for Hi-Tec and Codemasters on titles such as Turbo the Tortoise and Crystal Kingdom Dizzy. We ask him a few questions and find out what happened next after moving on from the C64.
