Thought it was about time to make a post about the next RetroBytes production. A remake of the 1986 C64 game by Sam Manthorpe for the Nintendo DS. This is a remake I've been wanting to do for a long time and it wouldn't have been the same without the graphics of Lobo and music of Space Fractal. It's actually in it's final stages and I'm about to send out the final internal beta to the crew soon then hoping for a final release soon(ish).

Oooh that's looking nice!  Keep up the great work and give us regular updates

I used to love this, though I never managed to complete it.  I'm really looking forward to this.

Look like I need more playtesting this game :-D, glad I got the music fixed so you like it.

Now I have the DS hardware, so I playtest on my hardware next time I got the beta.

Keep up the work!! I might can solve the game in days, but I see I find some funny bugs or such (like some bugs I saw in MMLL). I do hope not.

London, 1974. You are a famous Scotland Yard Detective who must solve the murder of the rich aristocrat Angus McFungus, who’s body has been discovered at his home at 427 Park Lane. Arriving at the residence you soon discover that this will not be a simple ‘open and shut’ case, and will take all your finely honed detective skills to solve. Can you put your finger on the killer?

This is a remake of the 1986 C64 game by Sam Monthorpe for the Nintendo DS. Charcters were created by Paul Jay and the plot was cunningly devised by the Magnificent Seven.

Before I hit the liqueur store, HeHAW, happy birthday again HK and Merry Xmass and all. Play this one people, perfect for the long stormy winter nights when evil lurks outside and you're locked in a cabin with only a candle and DS (with seven spare batteries).

Thanks guys  

I even put a RetroRemakes logo into the game startup screens.. does that make me worthy of a news post RobF?  

[Lobo]

I've told you nicely to put a few Benjamins in the blue envelope and mail it to RR HQ, tsk tsk.

Your request to Santa must have been lost in the Christmas post, however one of his little helpers has obliged.

[Tam Toucan]

Works with NO$GBA.
