Veteran programmer finishes retro game sequel and publishes it after 37 years — Colin Porch started Head Over Heels home computer title in 1989, but it was shelved due to console pivot
Colin Porch, the original programmer for the 1987 game "Head Over Heels," has completed and released a sequel to the game after a 37-year hiatus. The sequel, titled "Return to Blacktooth," was initially shelved in 1989 when the publisher Ocean Software shifted focus to console games. Now, inspired by a reunion and the resurgence of retro gaming, Porch, who is in his 80s, has released the game for Atari ST and Commodore Amiga platforms. AI
