Metropolis (1989)

Looking for this game: https://hol.abime.net/2457

Here's the page from Amiga Power that mentions the game:


There is a 1987 ST game with the same name, but I'm not sure if it is related: http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari...lis_24876.html

There is a rolling demo with the same name by 'Dia' from 1992 and again I don't know if it is related.

Any info would be appreciated

It's wrong this demo. It is 1992 by Dia Design, PD demo. In Gamebase is indicated 1989 by Rapid.s
in database i found this entries without adf file and so i found a Metropolis file in Tosec PD and i thought it was the same game. Instead it is not. Sorry.

i found the game in question only on wikipedia (i found only intalian info):
https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrop...ideogioco_1987)

That's the same one that Cody pointed to then. I guess it was planned to be ported at one point.
