Book crowdfunding: The story of Ocean Software - Gold Edition
The book on the history of Ocean Software, published in 2013, is to be reissued with crowdfunding and expanded by around 35-40 pages. The additional content is based on the memories of thirteen former employees. "The Story of Ocean Software - Gold Edition" is scheduled for release in June this year.
This evening for your delight, ladies and gentlemen, my Commodore 64 presents the game that made me rage-quit more than any other!

@fluttergirly I also guess #Nintendo won't be able to get the license for the #Waterworld game, because it's original licensee (#oceanSoftware) collapsed and the licensing of the original IP long lapsed.
Say what you like about #OceanSoftware, but they certainly nailed what every teenage boy was thinking about in the mid-80s, even if they didn't quite nail all the games.
Did Street Hawk even ever get released?

Here's a comparison of a sprite between the arcade, Amiga and Atari ST versions of Toki.
Yes, indeed! Toki's beloved has become a brunette on the Atari ST. No doubt for technical reasons.

And to compare with the Amiga version, I also made a video of the arcade version of Toki developed by Tad Corporation 🐵
There are not only graphical differences, but also in level design (fewer enemies/items on Amiga)

The port of Toki to Amiga (and Atari ST) is undoubtedly one of the best ever made for an arcade game! 🧙♀️ 🪄 🐒
Smooth gameplay, vibrant graphics. The developers did an amazing job 😀

I wonder who drew the Toki artwork. Bob Wakelin, perhaps?
Here's the box and its contents. The manual and floppy disk are stored in the small Ocean bag.

Got a new game box! 😀
Toki, an Ocean Software game that I had on Atari ST and then Amiga. Because of the difficulty, I never got very far...
I love the cover art 🤩

I also really like the cover art drawn by Bob Wakelin 🖌️
It's a shame that the game was never released in a "big box" format (only in a plastic case).

Wizball (1987) 🧙♂️ 🪄 🌈
An action game I loved on Atari ST 😍
A kind of shoot 'em up in which you recolor a world whose colors have been stolen by a villain!

En regardant l'émission Super Vieux Jeux sur la VHS #Micromania de 1989, j'ai remarqué que l'un des écrans du jeu Ivanhoé n'était pas encore fini ! 🛠️
Le décor est encore une ébauche. Et il n'y a pas d'interface en haut.

After some research, I noticed that one of the unused tracks is used in the intro of the Atari ST version!
The tracks in this version are also sometimes played in a different order than in the Amiga version.

You will notice that some tracks are used in several parts of the game. Some audio files just have numbers, so the developers may have gotten confused. And that would explain why two tracks are not used!

It's finally online: the great Beach Volley soundtrack composed by Jean Baudlot! ⛱️ 🏐 🎶

It includes two unused tracks that I found in the assets 🎁

The first office of #OceanSoftware was this huge warehouse on the banks of the River Irwell in #Manchester, which had previously belonged to a greek shipping company. #DavidWard established the company headquarters there just to highlight it as the city's only software house.
