+Allan Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 Thanks, Jacobus. A lot. Unfortunately I don't have any of those games you listed. Hopefully somebody else does. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorsten Günther Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 By the way, could you (or anyone else) provide me with high resolution scans of Dodge Racer, Alley Cat and Quasimoto? Qhile I do own Quasimodo, it sadly is the German release by Ariolasoft, featuring a quite ugly yellow border around the original cover picture. (and of course all the other sides are yellow, too).

beamer320i Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Wow, Dodge Racer! One of the first games bought by my uncle for his Atari 800 in 1982 from Maplins in Birmingham. Have an orignal here on disk, not boxed like other Synapse releases, came in a polythene bag with cardboard support (according to the manual it was their first commercial release and not copy protected) Also have the manual if you need a scan?

Thorsten I have New York City in the same format - the box is ugly, but fortunately the picture is untouched. Could you send me a scan of the box front anyway? ... My copy of Alley Cat is on a cassette, and the image is much poorer. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you very much! (don't worry about the manual, I have one). Back "in the day" I purchased a copy of this in the silver and black box. Sadly I must have thrown it out at some point since. (and I think I bought it from the bargain bin for $3 or $4) Synapse released quite a few early titles in the "baggie" format. I have Protector (never released as a box actually), Shamus, Picnic Paranoia, Nautilus and Slime - if you look carefully you'll notice that the box format removes about 1/2 an inch from one side of the picture. jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 WOW, Jacobus, beamer320i thanks a lot for the scans ! I'm a huge fan of Tim Boxell's art and I have got most of his 8bit related drawings, but unfortunately in poor quality. I would be very grateful if you (or anybody else) could please scan the fronts of all your Synapse games. I am especially looking for Shadow World, NYC, Alley Cat (the tape versions would be also great) and Sentinel. The last one is a C64 game, but maybe someone has it. Thank you in advance !

jacobus Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Here you go. Not as good quality as yours, but still decent. Very nice, thank you! A couple of thoughts... 1) That image is creepy. Really creepy! 2) Where did you find it? The format is obviously for the older non-boxed versions of Synapse games (plus the date on the picture says 1982) - which suggests that it was an early title. I'd always assumed that Reptilian was announced just before Synapse started to go south got lost in the shuffle. There should have been plenty of time to finish the game between 1982 and 1984! Does anyone know any more details? 3) I want to include it in my poster, but it throws the spacing right off! Crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 You are welcome mate ! 1 - I agree, it's one of my favorite pictures by Boxell. 2 - It's not my scan, I found it some time ago in the web, however, it hadn't been easy to spot. For my best knowledge it's the scan of the poster. When you look closer you can notice the crease in the middle of it. As far as I know Reptilian was rather an early Synapse game, however, the programmer was fired and nobody continued his work. It's a pity because, judging by this art, we can only imagine what a creepy game it could have been. There are more Synapse games (mostly for VIC 20) wrapped in mystery. 3 - I'm not sure if I could help you with that. Could you be more specific ?
