SCREENSHOTS:
Shamus
DESCRIPTION:
Our attempt to remake Shamus, a labyrinth game released in 1984 by Synapse. The sprites were redrawn based on the original, sprite editors, levels, scripts and the game itself were made. They planned to finish by the 20th anniversary, but as a result they abandoned it. Source codes for everything listed in the kit.
In turn, the authors of Shamus relied on Berzerk from Stern Electronics, Atari and Western Technologies (Vectrex), released in 1980, as well as the continuation of Frenzy from the first of the mentioned companies, released in 1982.
