A short entry for a potential sequel that has been flagged up to us by Jazzcat. This sequel to the classic Firebird budget title was mentioned in a preview release, where artist Per Madsen says to “Look out for Special Agent 2”.
Was that just a throwaway comment, or was there indeed a sequel of some kind in production at any point?
We managed to get hold of the developer of the original game – Bo Nielsen to find out more. Bo hasn’t spoken to Per since the late 1980s, but does not recall any conversation about a Special Agent 2 game. However – he suggested that they may have had one about it.
Special Agent was done first, but there were problems publishing it – so their second game Eagles came out first on full price with Hewson, with the Firebird label releasing Special Agent later on. Neither game were particularly successful – Per and Bo worked on a few other projects and then they went their own separate ways.
It seems therefore that because of Special Agent not getting published right away, any thoughts of a sequel quickly disappeared – and so it seems there is likely nothing to be found sadly.
