Ha ha! Yeah that's it. God I ain't seen that for years! I'd say that's not a too bad attempt seeing it was my first foray into colour graphics!
Cheers Paul. Oh and btw Paul, if you can get any of that stuff working that we did for 'Flood II' for Bullfrog I'd love to see it. Again, haven't seen them since I drewed them! I still have all the games design etc. I remember that plant with the huge lips that snogged you but that's about it graphics wise.

Rob IIRC quite a few graphics were done (I haven't seen any of it since I sold my ST). Lots of sprites tho I have no recollection of any backgrounds but I must have done some (Paul?) I have scanned in MOST of the games design somewhere but got bored doing the map of the first level, I suppose I could scan the rest in. I went down to 'Bullfrog' and met Les Edgar and Peter Molynuex, they said they'd showed my animated sprites to Sega or Nintendo (can't remember which) and they loved them .They said they loved the whole games design and it looked good. We got to exchanging contracts when it fell through. Can't remember why tho. I'll now hand over to Paul Hughes. Paul, your turn. |

Hello - I've still got the code and executables lurking around I'll see if I can't get 'em up on an emulator.
Flood2 was looking ace - mainly thanks to Mark's mad graphics - (I've still got the design and map layouts in the atic!) - the problem was we were working on it just as a hardware/console transition was starting.
It started life on the ST (showing off a decent pre shift pixel scroll and loads of sprites) - but then marketting decided that the ST was dying, so we shifted to Amiga, then the marketting folks decided that PC was the future (a platform game on a PC?).
In the meantime Nintendo and Sega showed interest and that's where it came unstuck - they (NOJ or Sega) wouldn't let the devkits go to an external team so in order to carry on we'd have to move in house to Guildford which didn't work for us at the time and it all fizzled out.
Developing games by post - those were the days - Mark would mail me graphics, I'd send a demo back. Madness! What did we do without the internet!
As it turns out though I became great friends with all the Bullfrog gang and worked with them at EA - so much so that we got Les Edgar on board at Warthog when we set it up. Really, really nice bloke, and one hell of businessman (those contract negotiations where fun!)
I'll see what I can dig out...
- P.
