Sammy Lightfoot by Sierra On-Line Inc
Vapor? Tape? Seen: 1-page color, no-screen shot ad in Oct83 Compute's Gazette
says it was coming for Vic, and many others. Later ads (still vague, drawn
artwork only, no screenshots) dropped it from Vic20. Dec83 C.Gazette, pg113.
Seen @ $27 for Vic20, Jan84 C.Gazette, pg149?
Save New York by Creative Software
Vapor? C64 only? Preview: 1/85 Computer Games said it was coming, but
I personally suspect they never made it, or that was a mistake. Could have been
intentional vapor announcement, too. Who knows. I suspect that it is C64 only,
but maybe they did start making one in-house? If that were true, this would be a
prototype-only game!
Fort Apocyalpse by HesWare
Seen: for sale @ $24. Ad page 79, Nov83 Compute's Gazette.
Showcase Software
(NOTE: This company and Synapse Software may have been negotiating to buy/sell
game rights. Earlier than the ad I saw below, Synapse ads said briefly that
some titles were available from Synapse for Vic20, with them to soon be
available on cartridge. Something was going on. The Dec83 Gazette ad is color,
nicely done, but a Christmas closeout, where they were trying to sell you 2
games @ $20 each to get 1 free) I can at least confirm the tape versions exist
for some of these, with the company title listed on the cassette as "Synapse
Software". (Those tape confirms would be Astro Patrol, Salmon Run, and Squeeze.)
