Welcome to the first proper update of 2008!
It's an all Firebird update this time around, including a Hot! title and an Ultimate conversion.
Firebird - Gerry The Germ, Underwurlde, Savage
The French Video Game and Anime IP-TV channel Nolife recently aired a short programme all about Rainbird's Weird Dreams game. Details about the programme have been added to the relevant tribute pages !
A PayPal donation button has been added to the right menu on the Sanctuary Intro page for anyone who wishes to make a small donation towards the costs incurred by me to run the website. Visitors should not feel obliged to, but any donations will be gratefully received!
It's worth mentioning at this point that the Bird Sanctuary is strictly a non-profit web site run purely for nostalgic reasons (in case anyone was wondering).
An honourable mention goes to Peter Rittwage for some recent invaluable help with a number of C64 Telecomsoft disks. Have a look at his excellent and worthwhile C64 preservation project when you can!
A few eagle-eyed ex-colleagues spotted another former Telecomsoft colleague (Steve Perry) on the UK BBC News the other week. Well spotted!
Finally, the Memorabilia section has had another update thanks to the addition of a Telecomsoft mug!
