This looks like a wonderful reimagining of Ocean Software Atari ST hit "Where Time stood Still" loving the foilage art and looks to be shaping up very nicely, Are you creating your own puzzles or have you, someone, on board to help with this?

Are you considering releasing this title as a physical release? as it has the Quality of a commercial release.

Thanks for signing up fella, we have lots of areas here at the forum that will be right up your street. And your game simply looks incredible..wow!!!

If you are interested in possible looking to release this amazing title, you might want to get in contact with us at BitmapSoft, we are a new software distributor with a fantastic portfolio of releases and 100% transparency with our developers. If interested, please get in touch @zapity

Thanks for coming over.

Hey Everyone, There is a new Kickstarter that was just launched today, new retro gaming Annual from creators "George Bachaelor" a designed by graphic designer "Lobo Spitoufs"
called:
BLAST ANNUAL 2020: VOLUME 1. MULTI-PLATFORM RETRO GAME BOOK
Retro community, coding, computers & consoles, articles & game reviews on AMIGA BBC CPC C64 SPECTRUM MSX NES SMS ATARI ZXNEXT & more!
Blast Annual 2020: Volume 1, is a new A4, print only, multi-format retro gaming publication.



Blast Annual 2020: Volume 1 has been created by the awesome retro gaming community for everyone to enjoy.

It has taken us approximately 8 months of collaborating with so many wonderful people of the world wide retro gaming community to collect and write up all the articles. Finally, we are now ready to get this publication done!

Blast Annual 2020: Volume 1 covers a vast array of retro gaming articles written from contributors located all over the world including features, games reviews, product reviews, coder interviews and much, much more.

BLAST ANNUAL is all about community, coding, computers and consoles. We aim to showcase in a stunning hardcover book the following:

    People involved in the retro gaming community.
    Comprehensive coverage of retro gaming events held around the world during 2019.
    Coding tips are written by real retro gaming people.
    Pay tribute to retro gaming heroes.
    Feature articles and interviews on retro game developers. 
     An overview of the results from a number of different retro gaming dev contests held throughout 2019.
    Entertain with new game release reviews from 2019 on Amstrad CPC, Atari 2600, Commodore Plus 4, Commodore 64, MSX, NES, SMS, ZX Spectrum, ZX SPECTRUM NEXT and a whole lot more!

BLAST ANNUAL 2020: Volume 1 will be A4 in size with a strong hardback cover produced to a high standard using good quality paper. If you have purchased an 8-Bit Annual book before it will be of this same high standard. Why volume 1 I hear you asking? 2019 was such an immense year for retro gaming that we couldn’t fit all the content into one book!

Currently the page count for Blast Annual 2020: Volume 1 is at 198 pages. All content has been collected and put into its page layouts (As you will see for yourselves below). All that is left is for us to do is proofread once backers have helped us reach our Kickstarter target goal before it goes to the printers. We aim to have BLAST ANNUAL VOL 1 printed and posted out to backers in a timely manner. Our goal is for backers to be reading Blast Annual 2020: Vol 1 by end of July 2020.


This is a worthy fundraiser, I've backed this one myself as I Love what they are doing here..consider checking out the project here:

That's a real shame. I've had items delayed that I ordered, but they are saying it's got to do with their Chinese New Year lmao...i never thought that ordering online interfered is somebody packing it up and handing it over to the carrier? Lol

God knows how long it will take..probably the same length of time this Atari VCS will take to come out? I hope they can get through their issues and release sooner rather than later.

Hey man,

Thanks for signing up. Hope to see you a out and this game of yours 😁

Have a good one
Darren

OMG, its been two years since this thread has seen a post?, I assume a lot of people had given up on this project? with it been years since I announced the book..well...it's 2020 and it is indeed the year of the Coin-Op, I've no excuses now and to show I mean business. see below.

Sorry for the delay, it will be worth it



more soon...

I'm sure this will be on the top table for all Atari 2600 NS 7800 FANS ALIKE, BUT ONCE LEARNING OF Kieren Hawkens involvement, there is no way I could buy this book with him attached, His toxicity and deceptive and exploitative abuse of this community and people is enough to deflect people as I'm sure as soon as they hear that he is attached this could harm sales of the book for Sam and Bitmap Books which is a real shame.

can't stand top-twat-hat-gamer, he'll never recover from his draconian comments he made last year..lol, so I have decided to watch the other two video instead..these will probably be more factual.

these will be worth something in a couple of quid in a few years that's for sure..kudos to them..excellent collaberation..

I'd seen this..incredible find..thanks for sharing

This was a game I believe should have arrived to the ST and Amiga back in the day as well as Beach-Head such iconic games that were never capitalised on, until now some 20 years later.

I will definitely be reliving the Raid Over Moscow when it is finished.

Happy xmas everyone. I hope you all had an awesome day yesterday and than going forward things coming your way are incredible. Lots if things planned in the new year and truly hoping you will all join us 👍

Hey,

I've been a subscriber to your channel from near day one and have enjoyed many of your videos, your scripts are informative and witty more than most, which there should be more of, so keep what your doing...and again welcome to the forum, please engage when you can with others here and not just for posting video links...

have a great Christmas and happy new year

I very much loved the original..fantastic animation sound and gameplay. It was super polished and for those of you that didn't or never played this then you've missed out a real classic title here. Especially the gunning down of those poor soldiers as they try and run to the next shelter to escape your gun fire..brillaint...

Plus loving that remake..I love it when they do stuff like this and bring a near perfect remake that takes you back 😉

This looks very promising and it might the case Atari will have the haters retreating back to their caves. 😆
