1999 Nick London
Platform: Nintendo Game Boy Color
Our next entry into the GTW archives is a very early Game Boy Color title called MBC that was being created by a developer/artist called Nick London in 1999, before his days of working on Star Wars and Need for Speed games.
MBC (not sure what it currently stands for!) is a simple platform shooter, sort of like a miniature version of Rolling Thunder, where you have a fun that fires rapidly and needs to be replenished by pressing down on small ammo panels. There is an enemy that paces back and forth, but you cannot harm them in this demo.
There are no other real interactions apart from being able to navigate the map and to use light switches. Once you get to the end of the map, then you can fall out of the map completely.
We’re not sure yet if the game ever got any further than this demo, but hope to learn more from Nick in the future and see if there might be a more advanced version yet to discover. We believe that this game was being shown to developers as part of their portfolio and as a potential game to be picked up for publishing.
