Rybags Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Never heard of it... one of the 3 mysteries of Synapse I suppose: . why did they stop making leading edge games and swap to boring office apps ? . was there ever a portal type room/device in Shamus?

VW Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) Another Synapse mystery - Did Encounter have an ending if you made it past the gate at the end of Level 8 (which I never could)? Edited May 21, 2007 by VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FastRobPlus Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Never heard of it... one of the 3 mysteries of Synapse I suppose: . why did they stop making leading edge games and swap to boring office apps ? I can help you with this one. They were commissioned by Atari (they were a steadfast Atari dev house) to make the office suite. Atari later was bought out and simply declined to pay Synapse. Meanwhile, Synapse has moved their game development to Interactive Fiction, just as the market for this was both drying up and becoming glutted. I miss Synapse and lament the lack of info about such a significant company. I wish I could talk with some folks who worked there. I hear Ihor lives around here (Seattle area.)

+davidcalgary29 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Synapse mystery #4: why didn't Atari steal "Alley Cat" for its XEGS library? Best (to most gamers) forgotten arcade game of the '80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually for me it wasn't forgotten, I just discovered it for the first time in the past 6 months. Damn good game, wish I'd known about it 15-20 years ago...

Tempest Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 I never knew there was an Atari version, I grew up with the PC version instead. The Atari version is slightly easier on the eye, but I still prefer the PC version (The pink! The cyan! My eyes are bleeding!!!)
