As many classic gamers say
when they look at this ROM, I now say the exact same
thing.
WHAT IN THE HELL IS
THIS?!?!?
Now, this lousy little demo's dumping
is quite appreciated, however, its just one sign of how
deceptive some of the classic companies were in the
marketing of their games - and also why none of them exist
today. |

This particular game was
advertized in many different places - magazines, trade
shows, pack-in inserts, and other places. This was to be
a battery-backed role-playing game for the
Colecovision. However, despite this advertizing, it turns
out the screenshots of the game were merely mockups and
the only real code for the game (that has been discovered
thus far) is thiis ROM - which loads the ADAM BIOS,
displays an animated title screen, and resets. There is
no game here... just more lies from a pre-crash game
maker. |

It's not like video game companies never do
this anymore, but this is no longer a common practice to advertize
mock-ups and demos as the finished product. Personally, I guess I am
still a little bit jaded, considering the mockups of this game looked
-really- cool back in the day, and it turns out it was just another
unfulfiled promise by a company around the time of the Crash...
