MIA Auggie Doggie from C. Urquhart, any chance to be recovered??

Ivanzx · June 2012

Now that Christian Urquhart has been contacted and he approved WoS distribution, could it be possible to find a copy of the MIA Auggie Doggie, one of the late MIA misteries for the spectrum? (he stated he developed the game but it never was released by Hi-tec!)
Gerard Sweeney there!! :p

try the c64 version by nik + ash & dave did .. it's the usual stuff hi-tec churned out. wouldn't say it's that good a game tbh.

oi that's fighting talk where Im from !!

looked at some screenshots, seems to be a 'collect-em-up' rather than a left-right yogi bear/scooby doo/wacky races get to the end of the level type thing I prefer. still want to play it tho (on the spec;))

Lets wait until Gerard sees this as he is the only one with the contact for Christian ;)

Guess it depends on whether he has any development media still knocking around ?
See if Gerard can drop him a line and see if we can assist. I'm always willing to help of course.

I've been in touch with Chris, sadly he couldn't find any of his dev tapes, so it looks like Beaver Bob and Augie Doggie have been lost :(

Too bad. Here's a couple of dev pictures of Beaver Bob, though (source).

that is a real shame, thanks for enquiring tho'

Gilby · June 2012

The only last chance I can think of would be someone who worked at Crash when the dev screenshots were taken or possibly someone who worked at Gremlin.

I've asked Roger Kean about this before and I'm sure that Crash received so many tapes to preview / review that they periodically got binned.

it looked quite nice, by the way.

And what's the story of this Beaver Bob after all?

Lots of noise in the magazines and no game on the shelves. Why?
