Advertisement of Ocean’s Parasol Stars ports, mentioning the Commodore 64 port.
Status: Lost
Parasol Stars was a 1991 Arcade platformer originally released by Taito and later disturbed to the home computer market by Ocean Software in 1992. Most of the home computer ports saw release aside from the Commodore 64 conversation, programmed by Colin Porch and composed by Keith Tinman.
During development of the port, Colin and his wife were going through a dispute in their marriage life, and after a fit of drunken rage, Colin’s wife smashed up all of the development currently done of the port, including backups. After Ocean got ahold of this information, they faked an alternate story that the game was snatched in a burglary to keep’s Colin’s personal life quiet to the public.
Sadly, as all the copies were destroyed and Keith Tinman didn't have C64 source disks for the music, this port will maybe never see the light of day.
