You know what....I wonder...(yes, it is a year after your reply)...I never thought of it at the time, but one of my best mates is Dave Price, who was one of the artists on the Amiga/ST version, and I am still sort of in touch with Steve Harding (Now a coder at Travellers Tales)...there i...

@SockShock

All us artists at Software Creations that is!....dunno what they were using down the road, needless to say, they had more cash than we did, so Amstrads it was for us!

@Xyphoe Hi Xyphoe, I worked on a couple of Amstrad games (and spectrum, 64), but all these machines were really at the end of their life cycles then, even when I worked on SlySpy, so, some came out, others didn't.

Amstrad games were, SlySpy, Gauntlet III, Bonanza Bro's and Mega Twins, most of th...

Thanks for posting this, I was the main artist on this project, my biggest regret looking back at it now is that I didn't use more colour in the actual game...there was plenty in my loading screen, player select ect...o well...I'm sure I had my reasons back then!

Si.

The music was from an old Ocean game called "Highnoon"

@ RJ and TRBD, I think you're right, it was a long time back, and I know the textures, HUD and lighting were different on it...there were no actual transparancies on the Saturn version, it had to be done with stippling (this showed up on the engines, and lens flares)...I should have noticed that ...

Yeah, I did 90% of the Amstrad version too, just saw your review of it, thanks for all the kind remarks...and, yup, i know there were gfx missing, they were drawn, I promise you!...lol, just didnt have the memory to stick em in...hence, the lack of music...seems a lot of people liked it...I am am...

@deadline27 SockShock = Artist on SNES, Megadrive & Gamegear version.

@Otouto72 Would that site be Wos?

They know now, I only signed up to the forum a couple of days ago, and yep, I noticed that only SJS was credited for G3. :)

@Otouto72 Yes sir, it does, and a big thank you for posting it...means a lot to us folk who were involved :)

I will have a word with Ste, See if he still has it somewhere, game was dogged with problems...nothing technical or art wise, as we had all nailed it, just that Tradewest (I think, or Acclaim maybe...LJN...something like that) didn't like it...single player, it was not great...2 player....ace fun.
