The Konix Konnection

We were intrigued to discover that at the end of the Eighties, Darren and his team had contacted the makers of the ill-fated Konix Multisystem with a view to developing a launch title. “We showed them a demo of a game we were working on called The Chaos Drop,” explains Darren. “They loved it and commissioned us to write a game which became The Magician’s Apprentice. Technically the Konix was really nice but they were taking on Sega and Nintendo and they just didn’t have the money to do that. The console never got released, of course, and I’m pretty sure ours was the only completed game for it.” Look out for a ‘Whatever Happened To?’ story in a future issue.
