The Wild Bunch (C64) complete!
Written by Frank Gasking - September 5, 2009
After almost becoming a GTW, in 2009 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.
