Ziggurat

Tigress Designs

Status: No Download, Findability: 2/5

A strange name for possibly a strange game which was mentioned way back in Zzap issue 32 in their PCW show article.

The game was described as being a forced 3D isometric perspective puzzle game, but thats all we currently know. No other clues as to when the game was to be released.

The game did eventually surface on other platforms such as the Amstrad, and it was found to have been a 3D arcade adventure, and not really a puzzler. It looks pretty much like your typical Head Over Heels clone.

However, no information seems to show what happened to the C64 conversion, but Tigress Designs didn’t seem to last long. C64 conversions of isometric games could prove very troublesome, and Tigress might have had that problem with Ziggurat going across to the C64. Then the company could have also folded before it was too late.

Many possibilities, but no hard facts just yet… maybe you can help with that?

Do you know anything about this game?

  1. Hi Guys.

    I noticed you have an article about the unreleased C64 version of Ziggurat.

    I developed this game way back in the 80s. It’s completely finished but didn’t actually make it to market due to the publisher disappearing (as they frequently did in those days).

    I keep meaning to recompile the source and get it running on an emulator.
