Hi, Back in 1993-95 i was part of the team wich created the first PC Portuguese video game and as it was only released in Portugal and Spain back then, despite the excelent reviews it got all over, remains to this day a good example of unknown video game history, i´m sure.

GAMBYS was going to be released by Psygnosis at the time, but as we had made the game in DOS, and we released it too late as at the time WINDOWS 95 was gonna be the new norm in operating systems, our own DOS video game project was a casuality of technology changes and remain stuck in Portugal and Spain untill today.

Please take a look at my new GAMBYS website at:

Code: Select all

Download the game and check it out as i would love to learn your opinion about this work of mine and of a small unknown team who created this lost piece of history in video games.
Thanks

I would not want to guess at the numbers of people or small developers who have went through a similar situation. This is sad because i think a lot of great games and programs that were in development or in limited production have been lost forever. I will check your site out. Thanks for the link.

BTW, WELCOME TO TOC

Ill have to remember this and take a look at it later once my laptop is fixed...

Thanks for the welcome guys.
Spread my game around if you can. You can also take the files and post them in your own pages if you want.
I just want to spread this thing around as much as i can. It´s like i´m promoting the game 15 years later because back then there was no internet.
I´ll post more about the making of the game as soon as i can find the material. I have som television clips somewehere and all that stuff.
Try the game when you can.

Took a look at your link and description of game, seems cool and tour description makes it intriguing and a want to play game.
