This game also exists as a tape version. I have it in my collection, complete with two original tapes (both use a+b side!), original manual and original package. The tape version is shortened compared to the disk version. It only contains the helicopter shoot-em up parts (missions 1-5) and the end animation. You can load each mission (and the end animation) individually, but there is no planet selection like in the disk version. I still like the tape version, since I never liked the underground fortresses anyways. If only the shoot-em up parts were a little easier and not that difficult as they are. And yes, I got the disk version back then from Micro Discount, not Red Rat, while I got the tape version from ebay. Think FredM is right and Red Rat never sold this game.

This is one of the BEST shmups for Atari! Really, incredible graphics, fast action, great sounds... This game amazed me so much when I saw it for the first time..

This game was developed in Dunedin, New Zealand by Twilight Software (Andrew & Harvey). I should know since I designed the graphics. Red Rat distributed/sold it. We should have approached Atari UK - but never thought about it.. Page 6 previewed it - as a game looking for a publisher - Red Rat was the only one who responded... Now 30 years later on, the landscapes in Hawkquest - now get updated to 2016 in the current project I'm working on.

This game was NOT released by Red Rat. It was developed by them but not published. Years later MD Software (UK) bought the rights and published it.
