Solar Jetman - Ultimate's game for Amiga?

[Predseda]

According to this and this article on wikipedia it seems there was the Amiga port of NES game Solar Jetman, written by former Ultimate Play the Game, under development. There is also written that Commodore 64 version was found and released. So - did anyoune known at least screenshot from Amiga version?


NES version of Solar Jetman

The C64 version is easily found, and has two playthroughs on YT, but whoever edited that WP article has access to information not found by two search engines. Normally, this warrants a "citationneeded".

Great little game, came quite late in the NES life cycle, but I rented it and liked it back in the day. ST got Oids.

But it seems as if someone did an Amiga or ST version, they've not dared to share.

It was mentioned in Amiga Power, but it doesn't sound like it progressed very far: https://amr.abime.net/review_43395

That Scavenger game looks good. It's an ST only unreleased game?

[Seiya]

in LemonC64 is written that Amiga games never released because NES version was a flop and so better avoid this risk.

Amiga is missing and ST is available? Tried it on hatari and it's pretty good

Apparently that is the case. Maybe if somebody can find John M. Philips he might remember if an Amiga version ever existed. It wasn't uncommon even in 1990 that games were first released for the ST and then ported to the Amiga.
