Lulu

1984 Star Systems Software

Platform: Atari 400/800

A short entry for a title that was created by Russ Wetmore, and one of the last games they worked on before moving onto new platforms. Unfortunately the game was never released, but thankfully it was recovered in 2015 via the AtariAge forums and Kay Savetz.

Here is what Russ had to say about the game:

“It’s the last game I worked on before quitting the Atari 800. Lulu was a dancing elephant in the jungle trying to fill up dry ponds for the other animals while other animals tried to take her out. The game was only so-so, but the music was pretty good if I do say so myself. My agent and I had a falling out, and then nobody wanted to talk about publishing the game, so I stopped working on it.”

So its not completely finished, but its pretty advanced and near enough. The game is sort of a mixture of Ballblazer and M.U.L.E. An amazing finding, and if anything else comes to light about the game – we’ll continue to update this page.

With thanks to Avram Dumitrescu for highlighting and to AtariMania for the screenshots.
