Subject: Possible new commercial MM/JSW games?
I just read the following post on
c.s.s.:-
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------
After a prolonged absence the Wanderer Willy is set to
return to the fray in
a series of new
adventures.
Jester Interactive has continued the retro gaming
flavour, following the
acquisition of Graftgold's back
catalogue, by scooping the rights to the
famous platform
games Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner. The deal, that
acquires
the titles from original publisher Software Projects,
offers the opportunity
to develop games based on the
popular Spectrum games.
Created by Matthew Smith,
Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner both received
rave
reviews at the time of release and are widely regarded as
the most enduring
and fondly remembered Spectrum
games.
Work is underway to ensure that the titles translate
well to next generation
platforms and that mobile
and handheld versions are faithful to the
original
games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fingers crossed for some more MM/JSW games (and let's
hope that they don't try and stop us making more
games...)
