Bert's Brew Biz

I remember playing this game as a kid, and I just got a copy of it back again. Was this game ever finished? The version that I have (which was the same one that I played when I was young) has no title screen, and very few sound effects, and there is also that level skip feature (debug?).

 

On the other hand, the C64 version has a title screen and some more sounds, and I've seen the box for it. I couldn't find any info on the net about it, and would appreciate any info anyone has on it.

While I loved Fanda games and always found they had a great, polished look about them, I also found that they were always a bit buggy and, in some cases, a little unfinished-feeling. To the best of my knowledge they were finished, but probably suffered from deadline and/or budget overrun.

It was released in the UK by Americana, US Gold's budget line. I'm not sure whether American Eagle originally sold it in the US (like Ollie's Follies).

Well, many years ago I had found a version of this game, which was actually finished. It had the title screen (the same as in C64 version), and the levelskip and colorchange features were disabled.

What a pity, I haven't got the Brew Biz cassete anymore. And I haven't found this "full version" on the Net.

But it surely exists!

Finally, I've found it! The full version, found at atari.online.pl. Have fun!
