On early issues of AmigaWorld (Late 1986 early 1987) there was this two page add that showed the latest offering from the company in software and the authors next to it - Both productive and entertainment.

There was Dan Silva with Deluxe Paint, Damon Slye with Arcticfox, Rick Koening with Grand Prix (afterwards renamed to Ferrari Formula One) and so on...

But the first monitor screen show some kind of 3d corridor, with RJ Mical lying next to it.

It reads on the caption:
"R.J. Mical (seated)
Co-designer of the Amiga has a top-secret game in the works.
Can he really make the Amiga stand on his head?"

What game was it? Has it been released? Was it vapourware?
Does anyone know anything about it?


Is it related to Atari Lynx maybe?

Under the auspices of a game company called Epyx I was co-inventor of the first color hand-held game system, the Lynx, which finally was acquired by Atari.

I was co-designer of the Lynx hardware system, and I implemented an entire software development suite including a run-time library of hardware interface routines and a celebrated set of debugging, art and audio tools. We received many patents for the Lynx.

In addition, we developed 6 games to be available at the launch of the system. I produced these 6 titles, was co-designer of several of them, and managed the programmers, artists and audio/music designers.
