This was to be an Ikari Warriors style game converted from the SNK arcade to the C64 by F.A.C.S (Financial Accounting and Computing Software) - a West Bloomfield Township, Michigan company.
Previously and very strangely, Sales Curve were linked to the game back in 1988 with a separate development which seemed to fall through after FIL (The French company with Sales Curve as its UK division) lost funding. However in 1989, another team picked up the licence it seems.
According to a wiki page - the engine and much of the game-play was in place - but the development company folded before the project could be finished off. The game however did eventually get published on NES, PC, Apple II in 1989 by Data East.
So has anything survived of this game?... Where did the information on F.A.C.S come from originally?..... Was it from an employee of the company who could help us find the game?...
It's early days yet, but it sounds pretty promising that there could be something to be found. Hopefully it won't be as bad as the US version of Ikari Warriors on the C64, and that we are looking at something very special instead.
More on this soon we hope...
