Our fantastic Bug-Byte games have followed us through our childhood – I believe that in their line there is one for everyone no matter taste. My personal favorite is Twin Kingdom Valley – and adventure game I saw on commercials on the way to school – as a kid with a lot of fantasy I dreamt of a scenario with hilarious challenges to my mind and this time visualized by graphics.
The graphics might not have been the best but still as slow-drawing and expectation building as waiting for the actual game. Did I solve it? Nope, long away from solving it – and nor did I understand that Domark would bring us the adventure of the adventures one day.
Or as Bug-Byte position the game “Collect as much treasure as you can without being killed: Your score increases as your success rate increases. The maximus score is 1024 points. The game begins with you standing on a road running from East to West. Nearby is a cabin which you have rented from the Inkeeper of the ‘Sword Inn’. Where you go and what you do is up to you. The best of luck.”
Very few know about that Bug-Byte also had some utility releases, one of the more known ones on the BBC Micro was “BBC Music Synthesizer” – A music utility that could take the best of the BBC, maybe not known for its good sound potentials – but all home computers did also compete on the music level. Or as Bug-Byte described it “Transform your BBC Micro, into a dynamic instrument! Our complete Music Editor/Synthesiser allows enter and edit of all 3 parts of the Music Stave + Rythm section. Definable envelopes allow you to make the sound of your choice.”
