Tempest Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I just read an interesting thing about In Search of the Golden Skull on the Blue Sky Rangers page. According to them, ISOGS was designed and programmed by Jerry Lawson of Videosoft. As we all know Videosoft only released one 2600 game (Color Bar Generator), but also designed the ill fated Channel F system. Even the Blue Sky Rangers don't know why Mattel contracted this game out. According to them the only other game contracted out to a group other than APH (their main contractor) was the 2600 version of AD&D Treasure of Tarmin. That was apparently done by Synth Group which was supposedly just two guys programming in their garage. Strange stuff. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Atari Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Two guys programming in their garage! That's funny! I bet that's what was going on with Mythicon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwh Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 If Mythicon was a 'garage company', I get the feeling that they left the car engines running a bit too long!"This game's different,right?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ze_ro Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 Funny how the developers back in the days were about as well off as the people programming today... too bad they didn't have emulators to speed things up like we do --Zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Do you mean developers today still churn out a lot of bad games? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Holy necrobump! Nope just the one screenshot AFAIK. I'd love to see some video of the game in action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Glad for the necrobump since I don't recall seeing this before. This is neat, especially the fact that it was meant to have added RAM. It continues to boggle the mind what innovations (shared or otherwise) we would have had for the three major pre-Crash consoles had everything continued at healthy 1982-3 levels.

+sramirez2008 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Never heard of this before, but it sounds really cool. This is one of the best necrobumps eva! Now if we could just get the ROM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
