A question for Screen 7 Entertainment

[GarageGothic]

I was looking through some old computer magazines from 1989, and you know what? I found a number of full-page ads for Screen 7! Very impressive guys. Seriously though, were you aware that Screen 7 actually was a UK game company that went belly-up sometime around 1990 after pulishing a few crappy games like High Steel, Jaws and Crossbow: The Legend of Wilhelm Tell for the C64, Spectrum, Atari ST and Amiga?

See some of their games at:

Maybe that actually WAS M0Ds' company

hehe just kidding, in that case, M0Ds may need to consider renaming his group to avoid confusions.

Nice find, GG! I never knew that. Never really looked tho, I guess. I wasn't aware of such a company, but then, I think very few people are. I mean, you're the first person in what, six years or so to mention it - hehe!

Never the less, it probably won't be called Screen 7 for ever.

The weirdest part though? I think I've played that Jaws game.

Funky logo tho; http://hol.abime.net/?id=707
I'm under the impression they were just a publisher, rather than a developer.

Go all the way and steal their logo! The company went bankrupt, so who's gonna sue you?

I think you're right that they were just a publisher.

And that game seems to be affiliated with someone called "Jones" if you glance in the bottom left corner. Intriguing.

Check out the box art too - looks like it was made using AGS! (top left corner)

Best box art ever.

LOL. I bet childers had knightmares about apples on their head.

I got a chance to scan one of the original Screen 7 ads. The "seven essential ingredients" bit is just hilarious.


And the full spread (big pic):

OMG! They're slogan was "Switch on to Screen 7" which was the slogan I was using on the website before I took it down a week ago or so.

LOL.

I am so putting seven ingredients on the website.

and OMG, that whole "melts in your mouth, not in your hands" slogan was totally mine on my p0rn sex phone call company, but those jerks got in the trademark... whoever this M & M's company is. Sounds like some paper company to me...
