Games That Weren't 64^®

Thanks to contributor Chris Hester, who flagged up an old piece that he wrote possibly for his magazine Adventure Coder. After the Fire was a graphic text adventure due for release from Channel 8 in September 1984.

Although due for release on a large number of platforms, no version seems to exist for any system. The game is believed to have been developed by Brian Howarth using Scott Adams’ parser.

Brian confirmed to the CASA team in 2013 the following:

“I came up with this title, along with any advertising synopsis associated, but never got any traction on the project – so it never came to fruition”

So sadly, there is nothing to find of the game to show. Early on as a result, it is a case closed.
