Was Rocketeer ever finished/released?

Below is a scan from GamesX magazine (A multi format mag in the UK which covered most formats!!) regarding this game!

(A full scan of the review is in the zone!!)

I cannot remember one single review of The Rocketeer in Brittish and German magazines. To be 'world-exclusive', I think Games X just reviewed the preview of the game. In Summer 1992 Amiga Format ran a special about using PC Boards on Amiga. In a section they also tested PC games that never made it to Amiga and The Rocketeer was one of them.

BippyM · 18 September 2002, 16:39

It looked quite good

RetroMan · 18 September 2002, 17:26

Hmmm, why was this game then tested in various Amiga Mags in the REVIEW (not the PREVIEW) section

At least there MUST be a beta or something like that !

REVIEWS :

Ace Magazine Issue 54, March 92
Zero Issue 29 March 92 (got 75%)

Cody have you hears anything about this?

Adropac2 · 26 October 2008, 18:30

A version was released on the Snes of course although i think that was to a very poor reception

One of the few games that refused to works for me using emulation on either Zsnes or Snex - perhaps i'm doing something wrong

Works with SNES9x v1.51 here. I think I haven't touched anything special in SNES9x. Maybe you should give it another go Adropac2 (well it's not a great loss anyway

)

I'll finally get to see it after all these years, try it out soon enough then if only to see if all those less than complimentary things said were right lol

Cheers

I haven't followed any leads on this one yet - I'll add it to the list.
