We found this game on one of Cory Kin’s disks by itself as a single executable. No clue to what it was or any name. Tucked away in the code was 1988 AKO, which confirmed that it was the work … Continue reading →

Another early game development from Cory Kin. This was a rescue job in itself, as the disks which Pet Rescue was stored on were heavily deterioating. We only just managed to salvage the source code from this abandoned game – … Continue reading →
