Before my annual leave is up,  here’s another update for GTW64…  this includes some nice findings on a few Beyond Belief titles (Beyond Belief were a company that came around late in the Spectrum/C64’s lifetime and tried to fill the gap that Codemasters/Ocean etc left)

Full summary:

• ‘Kayde’ special (8 new entries from the obscure 1983 software house)
• ‘Jimmy’s Grand Prix’ major update (Clearer screenshots, developer details, game details)
• ‘Shove Off’ / aka Pushover update  (Another Beyond Belief title, more details from Jonathan Cauldwell)
• ‘Caveman Ninja’ and ‘Flimbo’s Quest 2′ tunes added (Caveman Ninja in particular was a surprise)
• ‘Thundercats V1′ new entry added (What turned into Beyond The Ice Palace…)
• ‘The Secret Path’ new entry added

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.

p>

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!…

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
