PHM Pegasus: the Game
editNo, the info on the game is no joke. There actually was a game by this title. The front box art had a picture of the Hercules rather than the Pegasus, the back cover had screen shots from the C64. That's the only way I know there was a C64 version because my copy specifies it's for the other computer systems I mentioned in the data on the game. I got the release date from LucasArts website, though the manual suggests 1985 as the earliest date for the Commodore version. Intrestingly, the small print on the back of the box claims the front cover shows the Pegasus, but Pegasus's bow number is 1 instead of 2. And 2 is clearly on the bow in the picture.
- I have transported the following here. I think this is a copyvio anyhow, but perhaps we can use it to fashion something useful:
- In 1986 Electronic Arts released the then Lucasfilm Games computer game PHM Pegasus[[1]] which allowed the player to become the skipper of PHM-1 Pegasus, as well as an Italian and Israeli missile hydrofoils. The game was released for the IBM PC, XT, AT, the Tandy 3000, 4000, 1000, and the Commodore C64. Claiming eight real-life missions in what was then the worlds danger zones, the IBM version actually offered players eighteen missions through ten specific to this version.
Changed from stub
editArticle no longer stub and not really a start class so I've classified it as "C" but left importance as Mid. I'd like to place the above cultural reference in the article. On second thoughts looks like someone has removed it in an earlier edit. How is this not relevant? If no-one objects I might just get to it and re-enter with refs.
