The Other Flying Shark

edited January 2012 in Sinclair Miscellaneous
While sorting out some tapes in the attic I came across this remnant of the original Flying Shark. What's not well known is that the Spectrum version of Flying Shark was handed to Graftgold to convert when the original coder walked off the project after a few weeks (no, it wasn't me!)

As you might guess the original version was going to be in colour along the lines of 1942 rather than the classy monochrome release and probably would have been quite a colour-clash mess.

Merry Christmas!

    Awesome! If there is any more of it, please get it to Martijn so it can be put up on WoS.

    Sorry that's all I have, it was in the middle of an old unmarked tape with non Flying Shark stuff either side.
    If I remember correctly it was sent to me by the graphic artist to pass along to the programmer and since he walked off I never gave it to him.
