A short entry for a title that was flagged up in the brilliant Gremlin In the Works book, where Martin Fowler talked of working on a 2D snooker game endorsed by Stephen Hendry for Zeppelin Software that was being worked on by him and Tony Reeves at Dreamscape Designs.
The game was being developed for Commodore 64, Amiga and Atari ST and got to a 75% complete stage overall. Unfortunately, around the time – Archer Maclean released Jimmy White’s Whirlwind Snooker and Zeppelin failed to secure Stephen’s name for the game (as he won the World Championship that year and became too expensive).
Zeppelin wouldn’t fund the development any further, and so the game was ultimately cancelled and never saw the light of day. The question is whether anything may still exist today, so we hope to learn more in the near future!
