Will Wright, creator of Sim City and The Sims, started his career
on the C64 with Raid on Bungeling Bay. (There is one theory that he got the idea for Sim City from creating the maps for RoBB.)
According to his mobygames summary, he worked on an unfinished C64 game called Probots. The sad thing is he no longer has any copies of the game, and would like to remake it…

Retro Gamer approached Will for an interview for an article Andrew Fisher is developing, but Will was too busy to answer the questions… which is a shame, because one of them was fishing for details on Probots…
Sadly as a result it could be hard to get much more background about this particular game, and finding it could be very tough. But what exactly happened to the game? Did it get mislaid, or lost in a fire or something?
We hope to find out in the near future, but for now we’ll have to use our imaginations to wonder what this could have been…
