Crossbow Release Date?

[+Random Terrain]

According to Computer Entertainer The Newsletter (The Video Game Update), Crossbow was supposed to be released in 1987, then it eventually made its way to a possible May 1988 release in the May and June 1988 issues. In the next issue, July 1988, Crossbow is no longer in the list. Problem is that I didn't get a dandy little x next to the game as officially being shipped.

 

Since the game was supposed to be released in May of 1988 and it was removed from the list after that, I'm going to stick it in May of 1988 as a "Desperate Super Extreme Best Guess" if nobody has a problem with that.

An Atari 2600/7800 ad that was in the May/June 1989 premier issue of GAMEPRO claims that Crossbow was new:

Do you think Crossbow was delayed until 1989?

No, it was already sold in 1988.

 

Don't know the release month, though.
