"THE AMIGA WORKS" KICKSTARTER PROJECT
*************************************

Allister Brimble has just launched a Kickstarter project for his new double album "The Amiga Works". He will create up to date CD quality versions and remixes of his best musical works from the Commodore. The album artwork and an A2 poster will be designed by Rico Holmes who was the inspiration and artist behind the original Alien Breed series and other Team 17 games. Visit Allister's Kickstarter page.

QUOTE:

"I have received many requests to create new versions of my tracks in the
past, but I never felt I could improve on them.. until now. The technology exists to inspire me to create new versions of my tunes for these much loved games from the Commodore Amiga."

- Allister Brimble

As a big fan of his work I am very excited about this project. Recommend you get over to the project page now and make a pledge! :)

REVIVAL STUDIOS NEWS
*************************************

It's time again for an my monthly update regarding my retro/homebrew efforts.

With the release of no less than 3 new games, divided over multiple platforms, I've been so busy that I didn't have time to write this newsletter, which is why you receive it at the very end of the month. With more platforms and games in the pipeline, the next few months will be excited for you retro-enthusiasts.

[VIDEOPAC/O2] NEW GAME RELEASE - CAVITY

After the success of Mage: The Enchanted Crystals it is always a challenge to tackle the next game. I want to bring something fresh to the system with each release. While European gamers with a G7400/videopac+ usually have an edge in terms of graphics-quality, I decided to create an game experience that will be similar (and still look great) on both the stock Odyssey2, G7000 and G7400.

The game uses an advanced version of the colour routines I first used in Mage, I have been able to create in game graphics that don't even need a videopac+ background to look pretty! In cavity, Your goal is to navigate your way
through the cave while collecting various power-ups for points. As the game gradually increases in both speed and difficulty, you can collect a yellow power-up which temporarily stops the speed from increasing.

If you get the special item by picking up the blinking power-up at the right moment, you will be rewarded with a massive boost to your score as well as an instant speed-down!

You can watch the trailer for the game here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAVZnIU7gS8

Game features:

* Playable on Videopac and Odyssey2 consoles
* High resolution title screen on Videopac+ consoles
* Multicolour background and cave.
* Digitized speech using The voice add-on
* Internet high score uploading
* Online rewards system

The game is available now on cartridge for 39 euros + 5 euro S&H. An
additional plastic Videopac box is available for 5 euros. Note that loyal-fans that own my other videopac games will receive a 4 euro discount! (see below)

You can email me at: sales@revival-studios.com to order this game.

[COMMODORE VIC-20] NEW GAME RELEASE - AVALANCHE

Revival Studios has started development and publishing for the unexpanded Commodore VIC-20 home computer. The first release for the VIC-20 is a game Avalanche. Avalanche is a fun action game people can just pickup and play.

The player has to shoot the various gems that are falling down from the top of the screen. The gems are marked with symbols and the player has to match up
the symbol of his ship with the symbol on the gems. The game will
automatically increase in speed, but by strategically shooting gems you can align up to 5 gems in a row to gain points as well as slowing down the game
for prolonged gameplay.

Game Features:

* Fast, flicker free, arcade gameplay
* Gorgeous Multicoloured graphics
* Works on the unexpanded VIC-20

You can check out the trailer for the game at:
