An interesting title next from Software Projects which I never heard of until Peter Weighill sent in a scan of the game’s advert. Heebie Jeebies is another bunged into the archives for our search… Yet another Software Projects title which … Continue reading
Not the official title of this game. It’s likely a final title was never made in the end, and it seems this title was abandoned very early on. This preview was only released in 2019 after Hedning/GP found it on … Continue reading
