Now its getting hard… as the reviewing gets bog down, I keep coming across countless shooters, some real stinkers but some like this which look the business for the future, but get thrown away like the trash.
Escape From Mars has the basic elements present which make the game look a stunning sideways SEU, although the game lacks any real playability. Put that down to another early version, and a keen graphic artist! (Check that lovely ship!) :)
Music also makes good company for the nice graphics, so did a later version (Or even a final game we wish!) feature the playability aswell?…. Or was it all but a cover up? :)
The game it seems was reworked and actually released as Hidihood in 1993 by CP Verlag … http://www.gamebase64.com/game.php?id=3531&d=18&h=0
So it is very much a case closed!

Thanks yet again Gaz! I’ll keep the entry in place as a V1, but good spot!
