Were there any projects at Ocean that you wished you could have worked on, but didn't?

Everyone would say 'Knight Rider' of course!

I would have liked to have done Match Day 2.

I would have loved to have worked on a version of 'Wizball' on the Spectrum that didn't include flickery graphics and god awful collision detection that made you die when the bullets didn't hit you and that included all the features of the infintitely superior and still massively playable Commodore 64 version.
Rant over!

Definately "The Great Escape" on the spectrum. Love that game.

That Isometric3D Simpsons game that Bill and I were tinkering with on the ST/Amiga...
'Ere Marky - do you remember when Steve Whetherill from Odin came in to show off a version of Sidewize on the speccy - 50fps scrolling with zillions of sprites - oh the look on Catweasel's face when he saw that!!!
Spectrum Wizball wasn't that bad.... oh, wait, hang on, yes it was (looked nice though!)

I'm torn between 'Parallax' and 'Wizball', both classics !

I didn't remember but now you mention it I vaguely recall him seeing it then making some comment as to why it was that fast and that it wouldn't work in a 'real' game then skulking off to play with his flickery sprite routines. |

I was on to do the Spectrum version of 'Athena' after my 3 months of thumb twiddling waiting for Watson to finish 'Wizball'. I started on the graphics and got into it only to, one day, walk round to the other side of the buliding and to see Deakins and Horn working on it! "Oh, I take it I'm NOT doing it now Gary??" It was then that I was teamed up with Spectrum maestro (  ) Paul Owens and work began on the Speccy conversion of 'Gryzor'. |

Paul "BTF" Ownes (sic) please.
I remember him disassembling Joffa's "Hysteria" during Gryzor trying to work out how he got more than three pre shifted block changes per line.
Still, Gryzor was better than cat weasel's Wizball.
