I've recently been going through some of my old Amiga mags and remembered that when i originally saw the articles about this game i was very interested. Some of the Web pages are still running but i was wondering if this game ever got made?

Do you have any more details about it? Year it was in development? Who as developing it? etc...

It was being developed by World Foundry in 1997 for high spec PPC Amigas. Vulcan were going to publish it. It looked like the game was a cross between Freespace and Frontier. A whole encyclopedia was created for it. The Web page for World Foundry can be found here with links to the game on it.

Not if it never got finished.

I dont think that it did to be honest....

still i will never know why PPC chips.... the x86's were more than fast enough and at the time less than a quarter of the price!!!!

sigh.....

Looks interesting. A real shame if it never did get released. I wonder how close they came to completing it? Might be worth contacting the developers if we can and asking. If it is close to completion and will work then maybe we could secure the rights to release it in the PD via CA.

I will add an entry for the game into the main site and include the screenshots from their site.

We'll have to see if they'll take "inspiration" from us.
