Interesting, I presume Atari are not the same Atari as was. I understood they gave Jeff a massive screwing over TxK and he was (rightly) most displeased.

<edit> oof.. https://pastebin.com/HHCZwyEd my money this is the TxK port discussed.

<edit again> and I guess hence the quote "At the end of the day, video gamers always win"

Yes it was a shame TxK was never released for the Oculus Rift aswell, played a demo at Play Expo Blackpool a few years ago and it was excellent.

I saw Jeff Minter last Sunday at Play Expo in Manchester ! He is a legend.

I remember when I first bought "Hover Bovver" for my C64 all those years ago - great game !]

Cheers
