Rob Plays "Solar Jetman" (Unreleased C64 Game)
36A brief play (with commentary) of the unreleased C64 conversion of Solar Jetman, converted by Software Creations, from the original NES game developed by Rare.
I never heard about the game being developed back in the day, so when I did discover the story via the C64 Games That Weren't website, it was quite an interesting read into the background of the game and why it didn't make it out the door (even though it was basically complete).
It's quite a shame it didn't come out - I certainly enjoy this style of exploration gameplay, and whilst it's a little tricky in parts, the presentation & gameplay suit the C64 quite well. Certainly do recommend checking it out :)
If you want to do that, or read the story about the game's development, you can check out the page on the C64 Games That Weren't Site at: http://www.gamesthatwerent.com/gtw64/solar-jetman/
