Very literally a "look what I found"

While cleaning off shelves and separating games into sell and keep piles. I pulled this out. I had completely forgotten about this. Got it years ago on a whim because it was different. Any one have any info? I know HES was an Australian company and that the game doesn't work on any set up I have going here at home. But not much else. I remember coming up fairly empty doing searches when I first got it.

You don't have any clones? My 1 PAL Euro cart works fine in the clones I've tried it in.

Never thought to try it in a clone. Of course, I've never owned one, so I suppose that makes sense. But that's a good idea. I can probably find access to a system to test it out on.

Thanks for the tip!

HES has been around forever and is one of the reasons the Seal of Quality exists.

I have owned a couple of their games over the years, but never one that looked like that. They were always black, not blue.

I think the blue is from the camera.

Yep... Black cart and a crummy picture in a poorly lit basement.

Interesting history on the company. Thanks for the link

Actually yeah, you probably should. Super Noahs Ark came out in 94, the seal was introduced in 85. Or maybe I am just being pedantic this morning.

But you forget that company had been did some of the bypassing nintendo in the NES days too...(and I think I owned some of the games they made and probably need to buy a lot with them in it before my dad happens to see that they're missing from my collection...i've no clue what happened to them :| )

That is neat, curious how good the game is, google shows a Taito Arcade cab.

I wonder if afilliated with another HES (Human Engineered Software) company, the various games that came out on the Vic20 and Commodore 64. Gridrunner and Shamus come to mind.
