Hawkquest

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 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.
