Big Apple

Status: No Download, Findability: 1/5

We don’t know much about this game, but apparently a C64 version was being done anyway. The Amiga version is in fact missing also, so was it a case of the company going bust?

A little more is learnt about the title thanks to Fabrizio, but not much at this stage:

From C+VG issue 85 page 11, November 1988:

“You could have been forgiven for ignoring The Big Apple, a new software label that first surfaced months ago promising big things, but released only one game. They’re hitting their stride now, though, with Lasertrain (the tale of an alien attack on an Intercity!), Harrier Strike Mission 2and adventure game The Fool’s Errand all due for immediate release, and Thud Ridge (a Vietnam flight sim) with Creased Lightning, ’60s hot rod street racing, waiting in the wings. We haven’t played any of them properly yet, but it will be interesting to see what develops.”

Not much on this we know, but hopefully we will find out more soon!
