- How about a bit of trivia? When Ultimate were ressurected (some buy-out or
- other secured the use of the name) they released a game called Bubbler.
- It never made it to the C64, but it *was* converted. The conversion was
- being handled by Lynsoft (a small development company based near to me in
- Herne Bay, Kent) and the head programmer was a friend of mine called Matt
- Young. (Matt was also responsible for Thrust on the C16 for Firebird)
-
- The reason it was never released despite being finished is that Ultimate
- had a pull-out clause in the contract and did so for reasons unknown at
- the last minute. The result bankrupted Lynsoft.
