Another of the unreleased 22 games which one day we hope to track down and bring to you, like Codemasters should have done a long time ago. Nothing is known of the actual game, or what it was about.
An interesting point to make, is that Matt Simmonds, who did the Grell and Fella music, has done a piece of music by the name of Thunderhawk and it seems likely this would have been for a Codemasters game.
Thanks to Zoltan, we learn that a conversation about the missing Codemasters game came up between Barry Joynes (aka Derbyshire Ram) had sent a message to Jazzcat flagging up that “Thunderhawk is a game that still exists gathering dust in the Codemasters archives”.
Back in 1996/97, Commodore Scene magazine it seems tried to contact Codemasters with a view to getting access to all the missing games and even spoke with Richard Darling (who seemed open to the team going through their archives). Unfortunately it seems this never happened, so many of these titles are still at large (even though we’ve managed to recover some of them over the years ;-) )
One other thing to note is that we know a “Firehawk” game was being done by Codemasters, so could Barry have got the titles mixed up? Sadly Barry passed away many years ago.
More information needed, so can anyone help?
