Another unreleased game that was meant for use with the Amiga
Joyboard... I don't know completely, but it seems like there are more unreleased games for
the joyboard than there were released games! This game popped up quite a while ago on the
Stella List (mailing list) and caused quite a big controversy about ROM dumping that certainly
does not need repeating, especially because the major opponant against the ROM release has
changed his views and released several of the games available on this website! There are two
known copies of this game - one in the hands of the person who released the ROM, Lee Krueger,
as well as one in the hands of another collector, John Hileman. The original information I
saw about the game was from John's website, which unfortunately is long gone... however the
remains of it can be found on
http://web.archive.org . The images are gone, but you can see a piece of history about this game.

This game is quite hard to play without the Amiga Joyboard...
as of this writing, I've only been able to move the surfboard around (as seen above) and
wipe out numerous times (as seen to the right). Perhaps this would be easier with the Joyboard,
but I couldn't tell you anymore - my Joyboard no longer works! I pulled it out to test both
this game, as well as Off Your Rocker with the joyboard, but it turns out something happened
to it... possibly just age, but it still sucks... |

Read the great statement
made along with the release of this ROM.

This really could be one of the classic games of the 80s, and
unfortunately I'll never know due to a dead Joyboard. Sigh. Anyway, the game looks like
it could be enjoyable, but I don't see much playability on an emu. Perhaps, for those of you
who are lucky enough to own both a Cuttle Cart as well as a Joyboard, it could be fun, but I
simply can't see it on an emu...
