A thought I had just now, while reading through some old files... What ever happened to the F16 Simulator. Obviously it never got released, but it did get to the demo stage (does anyone have this on a DSK?). The quote from the SamCo newsletter was something like "the programmer got off to a good start, but then started to some off the rails".
Who was the programmer? How close was it to being finished? Was it just a number of bugs that needed ironing out? Did it actually get further than the demo? Did it turn out to just be unplayable? Does it still exist in an uncompleted state, in a box somewhere, or was all work on it lost? Are there any other gems out there that never got finished, but were close, do people still have these? They'd be a wonderful thing to see. I'll resist mentioning a certain mega-demo, but did Kaboom! every get finally released? - I seem to recall one posting to this list saying it was finished and since Fred was non-existant at the time someone else was willing to sell it at a low price. Enigma had the license for Xybots, but I think I'm right in saying it never appeared (at least it disappeared off there price list, and I never saw a mention of it again.) Was any work actually taken on this? I sense lots of history, and possibly interesting tales, but does anyone actually know them? Tim
