A lovely curiosity added to the archives today thanks to Marco Das, with the preservation of a very rare non-playable demo of Alleykat distributed by Hewson back in the day. It was likely for shops to showcase the game in their stores, or for magazines to get a sneak preview before release.
The tape was purchased from a Norwegian retro gaming site by Marco and has been fully preserved as a TAP image, and with the original DMP images too. Below are the downloads and a video of the demo too.
I am wondering if the demo may actually still contain any joystick related code to make it playable once more, and if there could be content that was cut from the final release. If anyone does have a play and manages to find anything of interest – please do get in touch and we’ll update the page.
