League of Light

Activision

Status: No Download, Findability: 1/5

A short entry for now of what we believe may have been a working title (or not quite remembered correctly by Peter Kaminski).

Whilst talking about Pyramid of Time, Peter recalled a title that Russell Lieblich was working on around the same time. Apparently it was a lot less structured as a game, and might have just been some loosely organized brainstorming and music that Russell was working on.

Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni – we learn that the game was mostly complete on the Intellivision, but never fully released. It however got released years later thanks to the Intellivision Lives compilation. Eventually, the game was reworked and evolved into Master of the Lamps on the C64. More details of this can be found in the German article linked here.

This may well mean that no C64 version of the game ever existed, and at best – was a V1 version of Master of the Lamps.

  1. League of Light was released by Activision on Intellivision in 1983:

    “Released in 2001 Intellivision Rocks. Programmers, Russ Lieblich and Peter Kaminski, switched to Commodore 64 development and released the game as Master of the Lamps in 1985.”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intellivision_games

    • Fantastic work Fabrizio and thank you. Looks like this probably at the very least became an earlier prototype initially on the C64 before evolving into Master of the Lamps.
