Cobbling together what I know from
http://www.jonlan.demon.co.uk/spectrum/matsmith/ and the interviews
with Matt that are on my hard drive, Matt started the game as a
Roadrunner game, since he thought Software Projects had secured a
license for Warner Brothers games. Then he found out there was no
license *or* they lost it (There's a couple different versions, both
told by Matt), and he began reworking what he had into Attack...
Anyway, the Spectrum market was coming to an end at this time, and
when Matt and the others in SP went their separate ways after an
argument about technology the game was abandoned. Some cover art was
produced to spur Matt into finishing the game (presumably before the
bust-up), and you can see it at

The game was being produced on the Spectrum and C64 in tandem, and
John Darnell, who was doing the C64 version, finished his as Star Paws
