Back in 1984, I wanted a ZX Spectrum - even though I
had a Commodore 64. Why? Because of this game - The Wild
Bunch. For months on end I would look at the Firebird
magazine adverts and drool over the in-game graphics and
wish that Firebird would release this cool looking game
on my beloved Commodore 64. Little did I know that I
would have to wait 25 years (THAT'S 25 YEARS!!!) to
eventually play it on my machine. And boy - it was
certainly worth the wait :-)
Jon Wells does it again. I
know that Jon is very inconsistent with his releases and
it's quite rare that we get to see something nowadays
from the great man himself, but boy, it was certainly
worth the wait. Jon has come up trumps (no pun intended)
with this cool remake and has certainly produced a
complete and professional product worthy of any
Commodore 64 game collection. So did Jon carry the
quality through to the end? Let's see...
The disk
version...
Good job!
Great!
Our hero heads
towards the sunset...
...
Ooooo...
A beautiful sight...
Hmmm... what's he up
to?
"High-ho Silver!"
Off he goes...
...into the sunset.
Time...
...for...
...some...
...credits...
RICHARD!
A fab picture from
Kenz. The End.
The tape
version...
That naughty Harvey
Logan!
Good job!
Our hero heads
towards the sunset...
...never to be seen
again.
There he goes...
Cool sampled sound
here :-)
The End.
HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?:
I hacked the disk version, and Jon kindly emailed me the
tape version :-)
SO WHAT HAPPENS?:
Well... I'm going to let you see it for yourself and so
I suggested you watch the video of the ending, which can
be found via the video link above -in the 'game
info' panel. I think you're going to like it :-)
