1987 CRL
Platforms: Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64
A short entry for a title that we believe may have had a Commodore 64 conversion planned at some point. It seems to have been also planned for Amiga, Atari ST and Spectrum platforms too.
Enchantress was a title due for release by CRL, and written by Fergus McNeill. Thanks to CASA Solution archive, we learn that the game was set to feature RPG-like stats invisible to the player, and let them be affected by the weather.
A detailed preview was shown in C&VG magazine in October 1987, which seems to show ZX Spectrum screenshots.
Was the game ever started, why was it cancelled and could anything still exist of it today? Fergus spoke with CASA and suggested that it was just a proposed game that some mock-ups were done for and prelimary design work – but the project never really got going compared to Mindfighter that appeared later.
It’s unlikely that a C64 version exists in any form, but it would be great to see the ZX mockups one day!
With thanks to JazzGhostrider and CASA Solution Archive for the heads up and details.
