#6054: 0supereg0 - R-Flamenco-Type | STIL comment | Very interesting story here. Katakis was released in September 1988 by Rainbow Arts, however it never got a release in the UK as Activision had it cancelled because of similarities to R-Type, to which Activision had bought the conversion rights. Activision were getting nowhere with their conversion of R-Type and they liked what they saw of Katakis, so they hired the same programming team (Manfred Trenz and others) to do the C64 conversion. They only got 6 weeks to write the conversion, and sadly, it shows. Katakis was eventually altered and released as Denaris in 1989. Tunes #2 to #14 all cover of the arcade game. |

Oxx:
You are very good at those guitars, synth or not.
Eivind Sommersten:
I like it!
LaLa:
Many-many plus points for the creative idea of trying to fit this into the flamenco style. Minus points because the melody line of the original SID is almost completely lost in here.
