A new GTW finding thanks to the preservation efforts of GTW regular Csaba Virag. This is an obscure German game which was created in 1986 by Michael Wuest, is the same developer who went on to code AmigaFox (an Amiga conversion of Printfox).
It is quite a simple game overall, with some ripped Rob Hubbard music, and what just seems to be the simple aim of shooting items on a conveyor belt. It seems that if you hit the wrong items, then it is game over.
Michael kindly got in touch via the comments to confirm that the game was not done for commercial reasons, but was done for a friend called März (which is March in English). Michael has no idea how the game came to sneak out into the wild.
He also did a bunch of releases like AmigaFox, GE (Versions 1-5), some Automation stuff (AlertWerks 3000) and some other things. But Maerz 1-3 have never been made official – though we hope we may see 1 and 3 in the future.

Oh well. I am Michael. I did that one. And I did it for a friend of mine. His name was März which is March in english. It was never released. To be honest, I have no clue where you have it from.

Thanks for getting in touch Michael! The game was found on a set of disks in Hungary by our team member Csaba, so we’re not sure how it came to be there.
Do the other versions still exist anywhere today? It would be great to add them to the site sometime.
