I look at Commodore 64 "Cyberdyne Warrior" unreleased intro and some loading screens. These were not used in the final game but were mentioned on the excellent Games That Weren't site. @gamesthatwerent.com I then link all of these assets into a disk image and source code.

I look at #Commodore64 "Cyberdyne Warrior", released in 1989, created by the Rowlands brothers. Many colours, wipes and fades, distinctive sound style, multiplexed sprites with expansion, and sprite background priority effects.
